Psalm 35 – Dixit injustus

The malice of sinners, and the goodness of God.

[1] Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. [2] The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes. [3] For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred. [4] The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well. [5] He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

[6] O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds. [7] Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord: [8] O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings. [9] They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure. [10] For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.

[11] Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart. [12] Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me. [13] There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
