1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 36

1 The grievous estate of the wicked. 5 The excellency of God's mercy. 10 David prayeth for favour to God's children.

 36:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David.]] The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

 36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.

 36:3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.

 36:4 He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

 36:5 Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

 36:6 Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.

 36:7 How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

 36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

 36:10 Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;

 36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

 36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.
