1To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord. Of David. 2\36:1\The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes. 3\36:2\For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated. 4\36:3\In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good. 5\36:4\He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil. 6\36:5\Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds. 7\36:6\Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast. 8\36:7\How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings. 9\36:8\The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures. 10\36:9\For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light. 11\36:10\O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart. 12\36:11\Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place. 13\36:12\There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.
