Psalm 36

New Coverdale Version

My heart shows me the wickedness of the ungodly; * there is no fear of God before his eyes.

For he flatters himself in his own sight, * until his abominable sin is found out.

The words of his mouth are unrighteous and full of deceit; * he has left off behaving wisely and doing good.

He imagines mischief upon his bed, and has set himself in no good way; * neither does he abhor anything that is evil.

Your mercy, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, * and your faithfulness to the clouds.

Your righteousness stands like the strong mountains; your judgments are like the great deep; * you, Lord, shall save both man and beast.

How excellent is your mercy, O God! * The children of men shall take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

They shall be satisfied with the plenteousness of your house, * and you shall give them drink from your pleasures as out of a river.

For with you is the well of life, * and in your light shall we see light.

O continue your loving-kindness to those who know you, * and your righteousness to those who are true of heart.

O let not the foot of the proud come against me, * and let not the hand of the ungodly cast me down.

There have they fallen, all those who work wickedness; * they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
