| Chapter 36 |
1 |
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah. 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 will not be found out and be hated. |
3 |
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased 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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, 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 wilt 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 |
Oh 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. |
