Psalm 36
The Steadfast Love of
God |
To the chief Musician, A
Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. |
|
1 |
The transgression of the wicked saith
within my heart,
|
that there is no fear of God before his eyes. Rom.
3.18 |
|
|
2 |
For he flattereth himself in his own
eyes,
|
until his iniquity be found to be
hateful. |
|
|
3 |
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:
|
he hath left off to be wise, and to do
good. |
|
|
4 |
He deviseth mischief upon his bed;
|
he setteth himself in a way that is not
good; |
he abhorreth not evil.
|
|
|
5 |
Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens;
|
and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the
clouds. |
|
|
6 |
Thy righteousness is like the
great mountains;
|
thy judgments are a great deep: |
O LORD, thou preservest man and
beast.
|
|
|
7 |
How excellent is thy
loving-kindness, O God!
|
Therefore the children of men put their trust 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 loving-kindness 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 remove
me. |
|
|
12 |
There are the workers of iniquity
fallen:
|
they are cast down, and shall not be able to
rise. |
