The Thirty-Sixth Psalm

Dixit injustus.


MY heart showeth me the wickedness of the ungodly, * that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
 
For he flattereth himself in his own sight, * until his abominable sin be found out.
 
The words of his mouth are unrighteous and full of deceit: * he hath left off to behave himself wisely, and to do good.
 
He imagineth mischief upon his bed, and hath set himself in no good way; * neither doth he abhor any thing that is evil.
 

 
vs 5 Thy mercy, O LORD, reacheth unto the heavens, * and thy faithfulness unto the clouds.
 
Thy righteousness standeth like the strong mountains: * thy judgments are like the great deep.
 
Thou, LORD, shalt save both man and beast: how excellent is thy mercy, O God! * and the children of men shall put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
 
They shall be satisfied with the plenteousness of thy house; * and thou shalt give them drink of thy pleasures, as out of the river.
 
For with thee is the well of life; * and in thy light shall we see light.
 
O continue forth thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, * and thy righteousness unto them that are true of heart.
 
O let not the foot of pride come against me; and let not the hand of the ungodly cast me down.
 
There are they fallen, all that work wickedness; * they are cast down, and shall not be able to stand.
