Psalms 36

To the director, to the servant of the lord, to David.

36:1The lawbreaker speaks in himself so as to sin; there is no fear of God before his eyes.

36:2For he acted treacherously before him, so as to find out his lawlessness and detest.

36:3The sayings of his mouth are lawlessness and treachery; he wanted not to perceive how to do good.

36:4He reasons lawlessness upon his bed; he renders to every way not good; and evil he did not loath.

36:5O lord, your mercy is in the heaven, and your truth unto the clouds.

36:6Your righteousness is as the mountains of God; your judgments a vast abyss. You shall preserve men and cattle, O lord.

36:7How you multiplied your mercy, O God; and the sons of men shall hope in the protection of your wings.

36:8They shall be intoxicated from the fatness of your house; and you shall water them of the rushing stream of your delicacy.

36:9For from you is the spring of life. In your light we shall see light.

36:10Extend your mercy to the ones knowing you, and your righteousness to the ones straight in heart!

36:11Let not the foot of pride come against me! nor the hand of the sinner to shake me.

36:12There they fell -- all the ones working lawlessness. They were pushed out, and in no way shall they be able to stand.
