Psalms 36

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

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David. The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

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

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.

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

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

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

He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

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

Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

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

Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.

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

How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

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

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

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

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

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

Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;

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

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

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

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