Psalms 36:4


Psalms 36:3 Psalms 36:4 (KJV) Psalms 36:5
The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good.
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.
Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.
