Psalm 36 | Liturgical Calendar

1

My heart sheweth me the wickedness of the ungodly *

that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2

For he flattereth himself in his own sight *

until his abominable sin be found out.

3

The words of his mouth are unrighteous, and full of deceit *

he hath left off to behave himself wisely, and to do good.

4

He imagineth mischief upon his bed, and hath set himself in no good way *

neither doth he abhor any thing that is evil.

5

Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth unto the heavens *

and thy faithfulness unto the clouds.

6

Thy righteousness standeth like the strong mountains *

thy judgements are like the great deep.

7

Thou, Lord, shalt save both man and beast; How excellent is thy mercy, O God *

and the children of men shall put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

8

They shall be satisfied with the plenteousness of thy house *

and thou shalt give them drink of thy pleasures, as out of the river.

9

For with thee is the well of life *

and in thy light shall we see light.

10

O continue forth thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee *

and thy righteousness unto them that are true of heart.

11

O let not the foot of pride come against me *

and let not the hand of the ungodly cast me down.

12

There are they fallen, all that work wickedness *

they are cast down, and shall not be able to stand.
