Psalms 35

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