< Psalms 36 >

1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, [that 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 he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity is found to be hateful.
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 ceased to be wise, [and] 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 mischief 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 mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness [reacheth] to the clouds.
Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.
6 Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.
7 How excellent [is] thy loving-kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under 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 shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make 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 shall we see light.
For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
10 O continue thy loving-kindness to 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 come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
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 cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
