Psalms 36
36
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.
1 #
Rom 3.18. Transgression speaks to the wicked
deep in his heart;
there is no fear of God
before his eyes.
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit;
he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4He plots mischief while on his bed;
he sets himself in a way that is not good;
he spurns not evil.
5Thy steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
thy faithfulness to the clouds.
6Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God,
thy judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast thou savest, O Lord.
7How precious is thy steadfast love, O God!
The children of men take refuge in the shadow of thy wings.
8They feast on the abundance of thy house,
and thou givest them drink from the river of thy delights.
9For with thee is the fountain of life;
in thy light do we see light.
10O continue thy steadfast love to those who know thee,
and thy salvation to the upright of heart!
11Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There the evildoers lie prostrate,
they are thrust down, unable to rise.

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.
