Psalms 35
1 For the end, by David the servant of
the Lord.
2 The transgressor, that he may sin,
says within himself, that
aRom. 3. 18.
there is no fear of God before his eyes.
3 For he has dealt craftily before
him,
bq. d. with regard to the discovering.to discover his iniquity and hate it.
4 The words of his mouth are
transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand
how to do good.
5 He devises iniquity on his bed; he
gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
6 O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven;
and thy truth reaches to the clouds.
7 Thy righteousness is as the
cOr, vast mountains.mountains of God, thy judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, thou wilt
preserve men and beasts. 8 How hast
thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the
shelter of thy wings. 9 They shall be
dGr. intoxicated.fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to
drink of the full stream of thy delights.
10 For with thee is the fountain of
life: in thy light we shall see light.
11 Extend thy mercy to them that know
thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
12 Let not the foot of pride come
against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
13 There have all the workers of
iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
