The Book of Psalms, Chapter 36
|
1 |
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.
