Psalms 36

1. The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.

3. The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.

4. He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

5. Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

6. Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.

7. How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

8. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt 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. Continue thy loving-kindness 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 drive me away.

12. There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.
