KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 36 of 150

1 To the chief musician; of the servant of Jehovah; of David. A statement of the wicked one: The transgression of the wicked one within my heart: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, only to find his depravity to be hated.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he ceases to act wisely, to do good.
