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.

Human Sin and God's Goodness
1 #
Ro 3.18. Sinners don't respect God;
sin is all they think about.
2They like themselves too much
to hate their own sins
or even to see them.
3They tell deceitful lies,
and they don't have the sense
to live right.
4Those people stay awake,
thinking up mischief,
and they follow the wrong road,
refusing to turn from sin.
5Your love is faithful, Lord,
and even the clouds in the sky
can depend on you.
6Your decisions are always fair.
They are firm like mountains,
deep like the sea,
and all people and animals
are under your care.
7Your love is a treasure,
and everyone finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
8You give your guests a feast
in your house,
and you serve a tasty drink
that flows like a river.
9The life-giving fountain
belongs to you,
and your light gives light
to each of us.
10Our Lord, keep showing love
to everyone who knows you,
and use your power to save all
whose thoughts please you.
11Don't let those proud
and merciless people
kick me around
or chase me away.
12Look at those wicked people!
They are knocked down,
never to get up again.
