Psalms 36
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks — there is no fear of God before his eyes.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid, the servant of the Lord. Wickedness sayeth to the wicked man, euen in mine heart, that there is no feare of God before his eyes.
2 For it flattereth him in his eyes, until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.
For hee flattereth himselfe in his owne eyes, while his iniquitie is foud worthy to be hated.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.
4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.
5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.
6 Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.
Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.
7 How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.
How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.
8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.
They shall be satisfied with the fatnesse of thine house, and thou shalt giue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleasures.
9 For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light do we see light.
For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
10 O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are thrust down, and are not able to rise.
There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
