Psalms 36
36
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah.
1The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes,
That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.
3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:
He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.
4He deviseth iniquity upon his bed;
He setteth himself in a way that is not good;
He abhorreth not evil.
5Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens;
Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
6Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Thy judgments are a great deep:
O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.
7How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house;
And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9For with thee is the fountain of life:
In thy light shall we see light.
10Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them 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 drive me away.
12There are the workers of iniquity fallen:
They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

36
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.
