Psalm 36

¹ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

² For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity shall not be found out and be hated.

³ The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise and to do good.

⁴ He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

⁵ Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

⁶ Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

⁷ How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge 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 drive me away.

¹² There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
