Psalm 36

Revised Geneva Translation

36 Wickedness says to the wicked man, even in my heart, that there is no fear of God before His eyes.

² For he flatters himself in his own eyes, while his iniquity is found worthy to be hated.

³ The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to understand and to do good.

⁴ He imagines mischief upon his bed. He sets himself upon a way that is not good and does not abhor evil.

⁵ Your mercy, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.

⁶ Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains. Your judgments are like a great deep. You, LORD, save man and beast.

⁷ How excellent is Your mercy, O God! Therefore, the children of men trust under the shadow of Your wings.

⁸ They shall be satisfied with the fatness of Your House; and You shall give them drink out of the river of Your pleasures.

⁹ For with You is the well of life; and in Your Light shall we see light.

¹⁰ Extend Your lovingkindness to those who know You, and Your righteousness to those who are upright in heart.

¹¹ Do not let the foot of pride come against me; and do not let the hand of the wicked men move me.

¹² There those who work iniquity have fallen. They are cast down and shall not be able to rise. A Psalm of David.
