PSALM XXXVI. To the Chief Musician. Of David, the Servant of the ETERNAL God.
1 THE Wicked Mans Transgression doth, ‖ speak this within my heart; ‖ That there's not any fear of God ‖ at all before his eyes. ‖
2 For in his own deceived eyes ‖ he flattereth himself, ‖ till his iniquity be found ‖ to be an hateful thing. ‖
3 Iniquity and base deceit ‖ are the words of his mouth; ‖ he hath left off to understand; ‖ to do the thing that's good. ‖
