Psalm 36
For the music leader. Of the LORD’s servant David.
1I know the sinful utterance of the wicked:#36.1 Heb uncertain
No fear of God confronts their own eyes,
2because in their own eyes they are slick with talk
about their guilt ever being found out and despised.#36.2 Heb uncertain
3The words of their mouths are evil and dishonest.
They have stopped being wise and stopped doing good.
4They plot evil even while resting in bed!
They commit themselves to a path that is no good.
They don’t reject what is evil.
5But your loyal love, LORD, extends to the skies;
your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
6Your righteousness is like the strongest mountains;
your justice is like the deepest sea.
LORD, you save both humans and animals.
7Your faithful love is priceless, God!
Humanity finds refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8They feast on the bounty of your house;
you let them drink from your river of pure joy.
9Within you is the spring of life.
In your light, we see light.
10Extend your faithful love to those who know you;
extend your righteousness to those whose heart is right.
11Don’t let the feet of arrogant people walk all over me;
don’t let the hands of the wicked drive me off.
12Look—right there is where the evildoers have fallen,
pushed down, unable to get up!

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 judgments 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.
