PSALME 36. (Book 36)

A Prayer desiring the joyes of Heaven, the blessings of Eternity.

MY heart sheweth me the wickednesse of the ungodly: that there is no feare of God before his eyes.

2 For he flattereth himselfe in his own sight: untill his abominable sinne be found out.

3 The words of his mouth are unrighteous, and full of deceit: he hath left off to behave him∣selfe wisely, and to do good.

4 He imagineth mischief upon his bed, and hath set himself in no good way: neither doth he abhorre any thing that is evill.

5 Thy mercy (O Lord) reacheth unto the heavens: and thy faithfulnesse unto the clouds.

6 Thy righteousnesse standeth like the strong mountains: thy iudgements are like the great deep.

7 Thou Lord shalt save both man and beast, how excellent is thy mercy, O God: and the chil∣dren of men shall put their trust under the sha∣dow of thy wings.

8 They shall be satisfied with the plenteous∣nes of thy house: and thou shalt give them drink of thy pleasures as out of the river.

9 For with thee is the well of life: and in thy light shall we see light.

10 O continue forth thy loving kindnesse unto them that know thee: and thy righteousnesse unto them that are true of heart.

11 O let not the foot of pride come against me: and let not the hand of the ungodly cast me down.

12 There are they fallen (all) that work wickednesse: they are cast down and shall not be able to stand.

The Prayer.

O God whose mercy reacheth unto the Hea∣vens and thy righteousnesse unto the clouds, teach us to abhorre every thing that is e∣vill, and to set our selves in every good way, that thy feare being alwaies before our eyes, and our trust being under the shadow of thy wings, thou maist continue forth thy loving kindnesse to us, all the daies of our life, that at last we may be satis∣fied with the plenteousnesse of thy house, and may drinke down rivers of pleasures, deriving from thee the eternall fountain and well of life, and in the light of thy Countenance, may see e∣verlasting

light, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
