1(36) For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.
1Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.
3Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
4Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5O Lord, your mercy is in the heaven; and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.
5Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
6Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts.
6Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
7How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings.
7For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.
8Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.
9And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10Extend your mercy to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
10All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
11False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
12They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
