Psalms 36

PSALM 36
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.
1The wicked man's transgression
within my heart thus says,
Undoubtedly the fear of God
is not before his eyes.
2Because himself he flattereth
in his own blinded eye,
Until the hatefulness be found
of his iniquity.
3Words from his mouth proceeding are,
fraud and iniquity:
He to be wise, and to do good,
hath left off utterly.
4He mischief, lying on his bed,
most cunningly doth plot:
He sets himself in ways not good,
ill he abhorreth not.
5Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav'ns;
thy truth doth reach the clouds:
6Thy justice is like mountains great;
thy judgments deep as floods:
Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
7How precious is thy grace!
Therefore in shadow of thy wings
men's sons their trust shall place.
8They with the fatness of thy house
shall be well satisfy'd;
From rivers of thy pleasures thou
wilt drink to them provide.
9Because of life the fountain pure
remains alone with thee;
And in that purest light of thine
we clearly light shall see.
10Thy loving-kindness unto them
continue that thee know;
And still on men upright in heart
thy righteousness bestow.
11Let not the foot of cruel pride
come, and against me stand;
And let me not removed be,
Lord, by the wicked's hand.
12There fallen are they, and ruined,
that work iniquities:
Cast down they are, and never shall
be able to arise.

Psalms 36
36
1To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid, the servant of the Lord. Wickedness sayeth to the wicked man, euen in mine heart, that there is no feare of God before his eyes. 2For hee flattereth himselfe in his owne eyes, while his iniquitie is foud worthy to be hated. 3The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good. 4Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill. 5Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes. 6Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast. 7How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings. 8They shall be satisfied with the fatnesse of thine house, and thou shalt giue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleasures. 9For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light. 10Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart. 11Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me. 12There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
