Psalm 36 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Wickedness of Men and Lovingkindness of God.

Psa 36:1
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah.
The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Psa 36:2
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes,
That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.
Psa 36:3
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:
He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.
Psa 36:4
He deviseth iniquity upon his bed;
He setteth himself in a way that is not good;
He abhorreth not evil.
Psa 36:5
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens;
Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
Psa 36:6
Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Thy judgments are a great deep:
O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.
Psa 36:7
How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
Psa 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.
Psa 36:9
For with thee is the fountain of life:
In thy light shall we see light.
Psa 36:10
Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee,
And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Psa 36:11
Let not the foot of pride come against me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Psa 36:12
There are the workers of iniquity fallen:
They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
