Psalm 35 — The Holy Bible

For the End; by David, the servant of the Lord.

The transgressor, so as to sin, says within himself,

“There is no fear of God before his eyes”;

For he acts deceitfully before Him,

Lest He discover his lawlessness and hate it.

The words of his mouth are lawlessness and deceit;

He is unwilling to understand how to do good;

He devises lawlessness on his bed;

He sets himself in every way not good,

And he does not abhor evil.

O Lord, Your mercy is in heaven,

And Your truth reaches to the clouds;

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;

Your judgments are a great deep;

Men and cattle You will save, O Lord.

How You multiply Your mercy, O God!

The sons of men shall hope under the shelter of Your wings.

They shall be intoxicated with the fatness of Your house,

And You will give them drink from the abundant water of Your delight.

For with You is the fountain of life;

In Your light we shall see light.

Extend Your mercy to those who know You,

And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Let not the foot of arrogance come against me,

And may the hand of sinners not shake me.

Those who work lawlessness fall there;

They are cast out, and unable to stand.
