Psalms 36

1 For 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.

Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.

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

For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

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

The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.

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

He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

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

O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts.

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

7 How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings.

O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.

8 They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.

They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.

For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.

10 Extend your mercy to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

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

Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

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

There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
