Psalms 36
36
Wicked Men and a Good God
For the director of music. Of David, the servant of the Lord.
1Sin speaks to the wicked man in his heart.
He has no fear of or respect for God.
2He thinks too much of himself.
He doesn’t see his sin and hate it.
3His words are wicked lies.
He is no longer wise or good.
4At night he makes evil plans.
What he does leads to nothing good.
He doesn’t refuse things that are evil.
5Lord, your love reaches to the heavens.
Your loyalty goes to the skies.
6Your goodness is as high as the mountains.
Your justice is as deep as the great ocean.
Lord, you protect both men and animals.
7God, your love is so precious!
You protect people as a bird protects her young under her wings.
8They eat the rich food in your house.
You let them drink from your river of pleasure.
9You are the giver of life.
Your light lets us enjoy life.
10Continue to love those who know you.
And continue to do good to those who are good.
11Don’t let proud people attack me.
Don’t let the wicked force me away.
12Those who do evil have been defeated.
They are overwhelmed; they cannot do evil any longer.

Psalms 36
36
For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the Lord.
1 A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked:
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
too much to detect and hate his sin.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit.
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 He plots iniquity on his bed.
He sets himself in a way that is not good.
He doesn’t abhor evil.
5 Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.
Your judgements are like a great deep.
LORD, you preserve man and animal.
7How precious is your loving kindness, God!
The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house.
You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9 For with you is the spring of life.
In your light we will see light.
10Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11Don’t let the foot of pride come against me.
Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There the workers of iniquity are fallen.
They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
