Psalms 35:1-11

¹(36) For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

²For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.

³The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand how to do good.

⁴He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.

⁵O Lord, your mercy is in the heaven; and your truth reaches to the clouds.

⁶Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgements are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts.

⁷How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings.

⁸They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.

⁹For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.

¹⁰Extend your mercy to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.

¹¹Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
