# Chapter 36
|
|
1 An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:
|
|
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
|
|
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
|
|
When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
|
|
3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
|
|
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
|
|
4 He devises wickedness on his bed;
|
|
He sets himself in a way that is not good;
|
|
He does not abhor evil.
|
|
5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
|
|
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
|
|
6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains;
|
|
Your judgments are a great deep;
|
|
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.
|
|
7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
|
|
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
|
|
8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
|
|
And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
|
|
9 For with You is the fountain of life;
|
|
In Your light we see light.
|
|
10 Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
|
|
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
|
|
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me,
|
|
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
|
|
12 There the workers of iniquity have fallen;
|
|
They have been cast down and are not able to rise. |
