Psalms 36: (ASV)
|
1) 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.
