| Chapter 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. |
2 | For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. |
3 | The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good. |
4 | He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil. |
5 | Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds. |
6 | Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. |
7 | How excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow 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. |
9 | For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. |
10 | O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. |
11 | Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. |
12 | There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise. |
