Psalms 36

PSALM 36
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of the servant of Jehovah; of David.
1The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God#GodHebrew: Elohim before his eyes. 2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, even when his iniquity is found to be hateful. 3The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good. 4He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.
5Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. 6Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast. 7How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings. 8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. 9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. 10Continue thy loving-kindness 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 cast down, and are not able to rise.

Psalm 36
Human Wickedness and God’s Love

1An oracle within my heart
concerning the transgression of the wicked person:
Dread of God has no effect on him.#36:1 Lit There is no dread of God in front of his eyes#Rm 3:18
2For with his flattering opinion of himself,
he does not discover and hate his iniquity.#Dt 29:19; Ps 10:3; 49:18
3The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive;#Ps 10:7
he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.#Jr 4:22
4Even on his bed he makes malicious plans.#Pr 4:16
He sets himself on a path that is not good,
and he does not reject evil.#Ps 10:7; Is 65:2
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to heaven,
your faithfulness to the clouds.#Ps 57:10; 103:11; 108:4
6Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your judgments like the deepest sea.#Ps 71:19
Lord, you preserve people and animals.#Ps 104:14–15
7How priceless your faithful love is, God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.#Ru 2:12; Ps 17:8; 57:1; 91:4
8They are filled from the abundance of your house.
You let them drink from your refreshing stream.#Ps 46:4; 65:4; Jr 31:12–14
9For the wellspring of life is with you.#Jn 4:10,14
By means of your light we see light.#Jn 1:9; Ac 26:18
10Spread your faithful love over those who know you,
and your righteousness over the upright in heart.#Pr 11:6; Jr 22:16
11Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me
or the hand of the wicked drive me away.#Ps 38:16; 119:122
12There! The evildoers have fallen.
They have been thrown down and cannot rise.#Ps 1:5; 140:10; Is 26:14
