| Chapter 35 |
1 |
Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. --
|
2 |
The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin : there is no fear of God before his eyes. --
|
3 |
For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred. --
|
4 |
The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile : he would not understand that he might do well. --
|
5 |
He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good : but evil he hath not hated. --
|
6 |
O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds. --
|
7 |
Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord : --
|
8 |
O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings. --
|
9 |
They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure. --
|
10 |
For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light. --
|
11 |
Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart. --
|
12 |
Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me. --
|
13 |
There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand. --
