Psalms 36
36
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.
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 shall not be found out and be hated.
3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:
He hath left off 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 LORD, is in the heavens;
Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
6Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Thy judgements are a great deep:
O LORD, 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 shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9For with thee is the fountain of life:
In thy light shall we see light.
10O 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.

Psalms 36
36
PSALM 36
Wickedness of Men and Lovingkindness of God.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.
1Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart;
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For it flatters him in his own eyes
Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it.
3The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4He plans wickedness upon his bed;
He sets himself on a path that is not good;
He does not despise evil.
5Your lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Your judgments are like a great deep.
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.
7How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house;
And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.
9For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.
10O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11Let not the foot of pride come upon me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There the doers of iniquity have fallen;
They have been thrust down and cannot rise.
