PSALME 36.
A Prayer desiring the joyes of Heaven, the bles∣sings of Eternity.

MY heart sheweth me the wickednesse of the ungod∣ly: that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flattereth himself in his own sight: untill his abominable sin be found out.

3 The words of his mouth are unrighteous, and full of deceit: he hath left off to behave himselfe wisely, and to doe good.

4 He imagineth mischiefe 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 moun∣tains:

thy judgements are like the great deep.

7 Thou Lord shalt save both man and beast, how ex∣cellent is thy mercy, O God: and the children of men shall put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

8 They shall be satisfied with the plenteousnesse 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 Heavens and thy righteousnesse unto the clouds, teach us to abhorre every thing that is evill, and to set our selves in every good way, that thy fear being always before our eyes, and our trust being under the shadow of thy wings, thou maist continue forth thy loving kindnesse to us, all the dayes of our life, that at last we may be satisfied with the plenteousnesse of thy house, and may drink down rivers of pleasures, deriving from thee the eternall fountain and well of life, and in the light of thy countenance, may see everla∣sting light, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
