Psalm 36

1 My heart showeth me the | wickedness • of the un- | godly, ||

that there is no | fear of | God be•fore his | eyes. ||

2 For he flattereth him- | self • in his | own sight, ||

until his a- | bomin•able | sin be • found | out. ||

3 The words of his mouth are unrighteous and | 3 full of • de- | ceit: ||

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 | 3 unto the | heavens, ||

and thy | faithful•ness | 3 unto the | clouds. ||

6 Thy righteousness standeth | like the • strong | mountains: ||

thy | 3 judgments 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 | 3 out of • the | river. ||

9 For with thee is the | well of | life; ||

and in | 3 thy light • shall | we see | light. ||

10 O continue forth thy loving-kindness unto | them that | know thee, ||

and thy righteousness unto | 3 them that • are | true of | heart. ||

11 O let not the foot of | pride • come a- | gainst me; ||

and let not the | hand • of the un- | godly • cast me | down. ||

12 There are they fallen, | all that • work | wicked•ness; ||

they are cast down, and shall | not be | 3 able to | stand. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
