Psalms 36
1 (35-1) <Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.> (35-2) The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.2 (35-3) For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.3 (35-4) The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.4 (35-5) He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
5 (35-6) O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.6 (35-7) Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:7 (35-8) O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.8 (35-9) They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.9 (35-10) For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.10 (35-11) Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.11 (35-12) Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.12 (35-13) There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
