For the end, by David the servant of the
Lord. 36:1 The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that]
there is no fear of God before his eyes.
36:2 For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate
it.
36:3 The words of his mouth re transgression and deceit: he is not inclined
to understand [how] to do good.
36:4 He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and
does not abhor evil.
36:5 O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth [reaches] to the
clouds.
36:6 Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are as a
great deep: O Lord, thou wilt preserve men and beasts.
36:7 How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall
trust in the shelter of thy wings.
36:8 They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou
shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.
36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.
36:10 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the
upright in heart.
36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of
sinners move me.
36:12 There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and
shall not be able to stand. |
To the chief Musician, A [Psalm] of David,
the servant of the LORD. 36:1 The transgression of the wicked saith within
my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found
to be hateful.
36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be
wise, and to do good.
36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is
not good; he abhorreth not evil.
36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth
unto the clouds.
36:6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a
great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
36:7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of
men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and
thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
36:10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy
righteousness to the upright in heart.
36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the
wicked remove me.
36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and
shall not be able to rise. |
