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. |
