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 ¶ Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.

 36:2 For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

 36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.

 36:4 He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

 36:5 O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.

 36:6 Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:

 36:7 O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.

 36:8 They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

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

 36:10 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

 36:11 Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

 36:12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
