Psalms 36
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Ref For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.
3 Ref The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise `and' to do good.
4 Ref He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.
5 Ref Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness `reacheth' unto the skies.
6 Ref Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are a great deep: O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.
7 Ref How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8 Ref They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 Ref For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.
10 Ref Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Ref Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Ref There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. Psalm 37 `A Psalm' of David.
