Psalms 36:1-8

¹To 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.

²For he did guilefully in the sight of God; that his wickedness be found to be hatred.

³The words of his mouth be wickedness and guile; he would not understand to do well.

⁴He thought wickedness in his bed; he stood nigh all ways not good; forsooth he hated not malice.

⁵Lord, thy mercy is in heaven; and thy truth is unto the clouds.

⁶Thy rightfulness or rightwiseness is as the hills of God; thy dooms be as much depth of waters. Lord, thou shalt save men and beasts;

⁷as thou, God, hast multiplied thy mercy. But the sons of men shall hope in the covering of thy wings.

⁸They 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.
