GOD'S VAST LOVE AND SUSTAINING HAND

The transgression of the wicked saith

within my heart, that there is no

fear of God before his eyes.  For

he flattereth himself in his own eyes,

until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

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. Thy righteousness is like the

great mountains; thy judgments are a great

deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and

beast. How excellent is thy lovingkindness,

O God! therefore the children of men put

their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the

fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them

drink of the river of thy pleasures.  For with

thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall

we see light. O continue thy lovingkindness

unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness

to the upright in heart.  Let not the foot of

pride come against me, and let not the

hand of the wicked remove me.  There are the

workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down,

and shall not be able to rise.

Psalm 36:1-12
