| Chapter 36 |
1 | {To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David.} 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.
