Psalms 36

1. ¹The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2. ²For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.
3. ³The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise [supplied: and] to do good.
4. ⁴He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.
5. ⁵Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness [supplied: reacheth] unto the skies.
6. ⁶Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are a great deep: O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.
7. ⁷How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8. ⁸They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9. ⁹For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.
10. ¹⁰Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11. ¹¹Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12. ¹²There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. Psalm 37 [supplied: A Psalm] of David.
