Psalm 36
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.
1The wicked man’s transgression within my heart thus says, Undoubtedly the fear of God is not before his eyes. |
2Because himself he flattereth in his own blinded eye, Until the hatefulness be found of his iniquity. |
3Words from his mouth proceeding are, fraud and iniquity: He to be wise, and to do good, hath left off utterly. |
4He mischief, lying on his bed, most cunningly doth plot: He sets himself in ways not good, ill he abhorreth not. |
5Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav’ns; thy truth doth reach the clouds: 6Thy justice is like mountains great; thy judgments deep as floods: |
Lord, thou preservest man and beast. 7How precious is thy grace! Therefore in shadow of thy wings men’s sons their trust shall place. |
8They with the fatness of thy house shall be well satisfy’d; From rivers of thy pleasures thou wilt drink to them provide. |
9Because of life the fountain pure remains alone with thee; And in that purest light of thine we clearly light shall see. |
10Thy loving-kindness unto them continue that thee know; And still on men upright in heart thy righteousness bestow. |
11Let not the foot of cruel pride come, and against me stand; And let me not removed be, Lord, by the wicked’s hand. |
12There fallen are they, and ruined,
that work iniquities:
Cast down they are, and never shall
be able to arise.
