Tehillim (Psa) 36
36
1For the leader. By David, the servant of Adonai:
2Crime speaks to the wicked.
I perceive this in my heart;
before his eyes there is no fear
of God.
3For, the way he sees it,
crime makes his life easy —
that is, until his wrongs are discovered;
then, he is hated.
4His words are wrong and deceitful;
he has stopped being wise and doing good.
5He devises trouble as he lies in bed;
so set is he on his own bad way
that he doesn’t hate evil.
6Adonai, in the heavens is your grace;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
7Your righteousness is like the mountains of God,
your judgments are like the great deep.
You save man and beast, Adonai.
8How precious, God, is your grace!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings,
9they feast on the rich bounty of your house,
and you have them drink from the stream of your delights.
10For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
11Continue your grace to those who know you
and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
12Don’t let the foot of the proud tread on me
or the hands of the wicked drive me away.
13There they lie fallen, those evildoers,
flung down and unable 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.
