Psalms 36 : 1 - 12
Chapter 36
1 | An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
|
2 | For he flatters himself in his own eyes, When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
|
3 | The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
|
4 | He devises wickedness on his bed; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not abhor evil.
|
5 | Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
|
6 | Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
|
7 | How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
|
8 | They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
|
9 | For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.
|
10 | Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your 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 the workers of iniquity have fallen; They have been cast down and are not able to rise.
