Psalms 36

1 To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not 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 made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to 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 ceased to act prudently — to do good.

The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.

4 Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.

5 O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.

Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.

6 Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

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 kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.

8 They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause 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] a 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 Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.

Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart.

11 Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.

Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.

12 There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!

There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
