PSALMS 36

1 To victory, to David[or the psalm of David], the servant of the Lord. The unjust man said, that he trespass in himself; the dread of God is not before his eyes. 2 For he did guilefully in the sight of God; that his wickedness be found to be hatred. 3 The words of his mouth be wickedness and guile; he would not understand to do well. 4 He thought wickedness in his bed; he stood nigh all ways not good; forsooth he hated not malice. 5 Lord, thy mercy is in heaven; and thy truth is unto [the] clouds. 6 Thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness]is as the hills of God; thy dooms be as much depth of waters. Lord, thou shalt save men and beasts; 7 as thou, God, hast multiplied thy mercy. But the sons of men shall hope in the covering of thy wings. 8 They shall be filled greatly of the plenty of thine house; and thou shalt give drink to them of the stiff stream of thy liking [or thy delight]. 9 For the well of life is with thee; and in thy light we shall see light. 10 Lord, set forth thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness] to them that be of rightful [or right] heart. 11 The foot of pride come not to me; and the hand of the sinner move me not. 12 There they have fallen down, that work wickedness; they be cast out, and might not stand.
