Psalms 36

1 Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.

The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good.

4 He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

He devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he detests not evil.

5 O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.

Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reachs unto the clouds.

6 Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:

Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O LORD, you preserve man and beast.

7 O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.

How excellent is your loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings.

8 They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

9 For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.

10 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

O continue your loving kindness unto them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
