Psalms 36:1-9 ▼

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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