Psalm 36

Psalm 36

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David ^athe servant of the Lord.

¹The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,

That ^bthere is no fear of God before his eyes.

²For ^che flattereth himself in his own eyes,

^†Until his ^giniquity be found to be hateful.

³The words of his mouth are ^giniquity and ^ddeceit:

^eHe hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

^4fHe deviseth ^||gmischief upon his bed;

He setteth himself in ^ha way that is not good;

ⁱHe abhorreth not evil.

^5jThy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;

And thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

⁶Thy righteousness is like ^†the great mountains;

^kThy judgments are a great deep:

O Lord, ^lthou preservest man and beast.

⁷How ^†excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!

Therefore the children of men put their trust ^munder the shadow of thy wings.

⁸They shall be ^†abundantly satisfied with the ⁿfatness of ^othy house;

And thou shalt make them drink of ^pthe river ^qof thy pleasures.

⁹For with thee is ^rthe fountain of life:

In ^sthy light shall we see light.

¹⁰O ^†continue thy lovingkindness unto them that ^tknow thee;

And thy righteousness to ^uthe upright in heart.

¹¹Let not the foot of pride come against me,

And let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

¹²There are ^wthe workers of ^giniquity fallen:

They are ^xcast down, and shall not be able to rise.
