RSV Psalms 36 Chapter
36:1
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart;there is no fear of God before his eyes.
36:2
For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
36:3
The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit;he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
36:4
He plots mischief while on his bed;he sets himself in a way that is not good;he spurns not evil.
36:5
Thy steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, thy faithfulness to the clouds.
36:6
Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God, thy judgments are like the great deep;man and beast thou savest, O LORD.
36:7
How precious is thy steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of thy wings.
36:8
They feast on the abundance of thy house, and thou givest them drink from the river of thy delights.
36:9
For with thee is the fountain of life;in thy light do we see light.
36:10
O continue thy steadfast love to those who know thee, and thy salvation to the upright of heart!
36:11
Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
36:12
There the evildoers lie prostrate, they are thrust down, unable to rise.
