Psalm 36

Vers 1

The wicked man’s transgression
within my heart thus says,
Undoubtedly the fear of God
is not before his eyes.

Vers 2

Because himself he flattereth
in his own blinded eye,
Until the hatefulness be found
of his iniquity.

Vers 3

Words from his mouth proceeding are,
fraud and iniquity:
He to be wise, and to do good,
hath left off utterly.

Vers 4

He mischief, lying on his bed,
most cunningly doth plot:
He sets himself in ways not good,
ill he abhorreth not.

Vers 5

Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav’ns;
thy truth doth reach the clouds:
Thy justice is like mountains great;
thy judgments deep as floods:

Vers 6

Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
How precious is thy grace!
Therefore in shadow of thy wings
men’s sons their trust shall place.

Vers 7

They with the fatness of thy house
shall be well satisfy’d;
From rivers of thy pleasures thou
wilt drink to them provide.

Vers 8

Because of life the fountain pure
remains alone with thee;
And in that purest light of thine
we clearly light shall see.

Vers 9

Thy loving-kindness unto them
continue that thee know;
And still on men upright in heart
thy righteousness bestow.

Vers 10

Let not the foot of cruel pride
come, and against me stand;
And let me not removed be,
Lord, by the wicked’s hand.

Vers 11

There fallen are they, and ruined,
that work iniquities:
Cast down they are, and never shall
be able to arise.
