The Wicked Man
(RCOG - "Thirty-Sixth Psalm")
Words: Psalm 36:2-4, 10-11
as found in: "The Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church of North America"
c.1889, slightly altered
Music:
1. The wicked man doth cause this tho't
within my heart to rise;
Undoubtedly the fear of God
is not before his eyes.
Because in his deceitful eyes
his ways are always right;
Until the vileness of his sin
shall all be brought to light.
2. The words that from his mouth proceed
are wickedness and lies;
He has refrained from doing good
and ceased from being wise.
And cunningly he plotteth mischief
lying on his bed;
He sets himself in ways not good,
and ill abohorreth not.
3. Let not the foot of cruel pride
come and against me stand,
And let me never be removed,
Lord, by the wicked's hand.
They're fallen, they are ruined,
they that work iniquity;
They are cast down and never shall
be able to arise.
