Psalms 36
36
Wicked People and a Good God
For the director of music. Of David, the servant of the Lord.
1Sin speaks to the wicked in their hearts.
They have no fear of God.
2They think too much of themselves
so they don’t see their sin and hate it.
3Their words are wicked lies;
they are no longer wise or good.
4At night they make evil plans;
what they do leads to nothing good.
They don’t refuse things that are evil.
5Lord, your love reaches to the heavens,
your loyalty to the skies.
6Your goodness is as high as the mountains.
Your justice is as deep as the great ocean.
Lord, you protect both people and animals.
7God, your love is so precious!
You protect people in the shadow of your wings.
8They eat the rich food in your house,
and you let them drink from your river of pleasure.
9You are the giver of life.
Your light lets us enjoy life.
10Continue to love those who know you
and to do good to those who are good.
11Don’t let proud people attack me
and the wicked force me away.
12Those who do evil have been defeated.
They are overwhelmed;
they cannot do evil any longer.

Psalms 36
36
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.
1An oracle within my heart
about the transgression of the wicked:
There is no fear of God
before their eyes.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 For they flatter themselves in their own eyes,
that their iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 The words of their mouth are wickedness and deceit;
they have ceased to be wise and to do good.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 They devise mischief on their bed;
they set themselves on a path that is not good;
they do not reject evil.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens,
and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 Your righteousness is like the great mountains,
Your judgments like the great deep;
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 How excellent is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore mankind
seeks refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 They will drink their fill from the abundance of Your house,
and You will cause them to drink from the river of Your pleasures.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 For with You is the fountain of life;
in Your light we see light.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 Do not let the foot of the arrogant come against me,
and do not let the hand of the wicked cause me to wander.
12There the workers of iniquity have fallen;
they are cast down and not able to rise.
