King James VersionPsalms36

Psalms

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.
