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.

(For the music leader by David, the Lord's servant.)
Human Sin and God's Goodness
1 #
Ro 3.18. Sinners don't respect God;
sin is all they think about.
2They like themselves too much
to hate their own sins
or even to see them.
3They tell deceitful lies,
and they don't have the sense
to live right.
4Those people stay awake,
thinking up mischief,
and they follow the wrong road,
refusing to turn from sin.
5Your love is faithful, Lord,
and even the clouds in the sky
can depend on you.
6Your decisions are always fair.
They are firm like mountains,
deep like the sea,
and all people and animals
are under your care.
7Your love is a treasure,
and everyone finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
8You give your guests a feast
in your house,
and you serve a tasty drink
that flows like a river.
9The life-giving fountain
belongs to you,
and your light gives light
to each of us.
10Our Lord, keep showing love
to everyone who knows you,
and use your power to save all
whose thoughts please you.
11Don't let those proud
and merciless people
kick me around
or chase me away.
12Look at those wicked people!
They are knocked down,
never to get up again.
