Psalms 36
36
For the choir director: A psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.
1Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.#36:1 As in some Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac version, which read in his heart. Masoretic Text reads in my heart.
They have no fear of God at all.
2In their blind conceit,
they cannot see how wicked they really are.
3Everything they say is crooked and deceitful.
They refuse to act wisely or do good.
4They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots.
Their actions are never good.
They make no attempt to turn from evil.
5Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
6Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
7How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
8You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delights.
9For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see.
10Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you;
give justice to those with honest hearts.
11Don’t let the proud trample me
or the wicked push me around.
12Look! Those who do evil have fallen!
They are thrown down, never to rise again.

Tehillim 36
36
(For the one directing. Of Dovid, the eved Hashem)
1Peysha speaketh to the rashah within my lev, that there is no pachad Elohim (fear of G-d) before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his avon (iniquity) be found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and mirmah (deceit); he hath ceased to be wise, and to do tov (good).
4 He deviseth evil upon his mishkav (bed); he setteth himself in a derech that is not tov; he abhorreth not rah.
5 Thy chesed, Hashem, is in HaShomayim; and Thy emunah (faithfulness) reacheth unto the clouds.
6 Thy tzedakah is like the great mountains; Thy mishpatim are tehom rabbah (a great deep); Hashem, Thou preservest adam (man) and behemah (beast).
7 How precious is Thy chesed, O Elohim! Therefore the Bnei Adam find refuge under the shadow of Thy wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of Thy Beis;#36:8 Hamikdash and Thou shalt give them to drink of Thy river of delight.
9 For with Thee is the Makor Chayyim (fountain of life); in Thy Ohr shall we see ohr.
10 O continue Thy chesed unto them that know Thee; and Thy tzedakah to the yishrei lev (the ones upright of heart).
11 Let not the regel ga'avah (foot of pride) come against me, and let not the yad of the resha'im drive me away.
12 There are the po'alei aven (workers of iniquity) fallen; they are thrown down, and shall not be able to rise.
