Psalm 36
To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David the slave of the Lord.
1¶ The rebellion of the wicked saith to my heart that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes until his iniquity is found to be hateful.
3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he has left off to be wise and to do good.
4He devises iniquity upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not abhor evil.
5¶ Thy mercy, O Lord, reaches unto the heavens, and thy truth reaches unto the clouds.
6Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep; O Lord, thou dost preserve man and beast.
7How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the sons of Adam cover themselves in the shadow of thy wings.
8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light shall we see light.
10Extend thy mercy unto those that know thee and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are cast down and shall not be able to rise.

Psalm 36
For the choir director; by David, the Lord’s servant.
1There is an inspired truth about the wicked person
who has rebellion in the depths of his heart:
He is not terrified of God.
2He flatters himself and does not hate or ⌞even⌟ recognize his guilt.
3The words from his mouth are ⌞nothing but⌟ trouble and deception.
He has stopped doing what is wise and good.
4He invents trouble while lying on his bed
and chooses to go the wrong direction.
He does not reject evil.
5O Lord, your mercy reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God,
your judgments like the deep ocean.
You save people and animals, O Lord.
7Your mercy is so precious, O God,
that Adam’s descendants take refuge
in the shadow of your wings.
8They are refreshed with the rich foods in your house,
and you make them drink from the river of your pleasure.
9Indeed, the fountain of life is with you.
In your light we see light.
10Continue to show your mercy to those who know you
and your righteousness to those whose motives are decent.
11Do not let the feet of arrogant people step on me
or the hands of wicked people push me away.
12Look at the troublemakers who have fallen.
They have been pushed down and are unable to stand up again.
