Psalms 36

1For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.

3The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.

4He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.

5O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.

6Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, thou wilt preserve men and beasts.

7How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of thy wings.

8They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.

9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.

10Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.

12There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
