Psalms 36
36
Psalm 36#In Hebrew texts 36:1-12 is numbered 36:2-13.
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.
1I have a message from God in my heart
concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:#36:1 Or A message from God: The transgression of the wicked / resides in their hearts.
There is no fear of God
before their eyes.
2In their own eyes they flatter themselves
too much to detect or hate their sin.
3The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful;
they fail to act wisely or do good.
4Even on their beds they plot evil;
they commit themselves to a sinful course
and do not reject what is wrong.
5Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
6Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
7How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
9For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
10Continue your love to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11May the foot of the proud not come against me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12See how the evildoers lie fallen—
thrown down, not able to rise!

Psalms 36
36
Human Wickedness#Ps 36 Hebrew title: By David, the LORD's servant.
1 #
Rom 3.18
Sin speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts;
they reject God and have no reverence for him.
2Because they think so highly of themselves,
they think that God will not discover their sin and condemn it.
3Their speech is wicked and full of lies;
they no longer do what is wise and good.
4They make evil plans as they lie in bed;
nothing they do is good,
and they never reject anything evil.
The Goodness of God
5 LORD, your constant love reaches the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the skies.
6Your righteousness is towering like the mountains;
your justice is like the depths of the sea.
People and animals are in your care.
7How precious, O God, is your constant love!
We find#36.7 precious, O God, is… find; or precious is your constant love! Gods and people find. protection under the shadow of your wings.
8We feast on the abundant food you provide;
you let us drink from the river of your goodness.
9You are the source of all life,
and because of your light we see the light.
10Continue to love those who know you
and to do good to those who are righteous.
11Do not let proud people attack me
or the wicked make me run away.
12See where evil people have fallen.
There they lie, unable to rise.
