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. |
