Chapter 36

  {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.  

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

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