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
Human Wickedness#Ps 36 Hebrew title: By David, the LORD's servant.
1 #
Rom 3.18
Sin speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts;
they reject God and have no reverence for him.
2Because they think so highly of themselves,
they think that God will not discover their sin and condemn it.
3Their speech is wicked and full of lies;
they no longer do what is wise and good.
4They make evil plans as they lie in bed;
nothing they do is good,
and they never reject anything evil.
The Goodness of God
5 LORD, your constant love reaches the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the skies.
6Your righteousness is towering like the mountains;
your justice is like the depths of the sea.
People and animals are in your care.
7How precious, O God, is your constant love!
We find#36.7 precious, O God, is… find; or precious is your constant love! Gods and people find. protection under the shadow of your wings.
8We feast on the abundant food you provide;
you let us drink from the river of your goodness.
9You are the source of all life,
and because of your light we see the light.
10Continue to love those who know you
and to do good to those who are righteous.
11Do not let proud people attack me
or the wicked make me run away.
12See where evil people have fallen.
There they lie, unable to rise.
