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.

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.
