< Psalms 36 >
1 To the Chief Musician. Of the Servant of Yahweh—of David. Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread 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 he flattereth himself [too much] in his own eyes, to find his iniquity—to hate [it].
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 show discretion by doing well:
The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.
4 Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, —he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!
Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.
5 O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:
Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.
6 Thy righteousness, is like mighty mountains, and, thy just decrees, are a great resounding deep, —Man and beast, thou savest, O Yahweh!
Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.
7 How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, —Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:
How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.
8 They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, —And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.
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, we see light.
For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
10 Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who 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 reach me, nor, the hand of the lawless, scare me away.
Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.
12 There did the workers of iniquity fall, —thrust down and not able to rise!
There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
