Psalm 36

Revised Version 1895

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.

1The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of GodH3068 before his eyes.

2For he flattereth himselfH3820 in his ownH5869 eyesH5869, that his iniquity shall notH369 be foundH369 outH7563 and be hated.

3The words of his mouth are iniquityH5771 and deceit: he hath leftH4672 off to be wise and to do good.

4He deviseth iniquityH205 upon his bed; he setteth himself in a wayH1697 that is notH2308 goodH3190; he abhorreth notH2308 evilH205.

5Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skiesH5921.

6Thy righteousness is like the mountains of GodH3068; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORDH3068, thou preservest man and beast.

7How precious is thy lovingkindness, O GodH410! and the children of menH120 take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

10O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11Let notH3045 the foot of pride come against meH4900, and let notH3045 the hand of the wicked drive meH4900 awayH4900.

12There are the workers of iniquity fallenH935: they are thrust downH3027, and shall notH408 be ableH3027 to rise.
