25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it; let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt; let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause; yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
Psalms 36 Intro: Estate of the wicked -- Excellency of God's mercy. (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.)
1 The wicked, who live in transgression, saith in their hearts, There is no condemnation; for there is no fear of God before their eyes.
2 For they flatter themselves in their own eyes, until their iniquities are found to be hateful.
3 The words of their mouth are full of iniquity and deceit. The wicked man hath left off to be wise, and to do good;
4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good.
5 O Lord, thou art in the heavens; they are full of thy mercy. And the thoughts of a righteous man ascendeth up unto thee whose throne is far above the clouds.
6 He is filled with thy righteousness like the great mountains, and with thy judgments like a great deep. O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
