Psalms 36

Psalm 36
For the choir director; by David, the Lord’s servant.
1There is an inspired truth about the wicked person
who has rebellion in the depths of his heart:
He is not terrified of God.
2He flatters himself and does not hate or ⌞even⌟ recognize his guilt.
3The words from his mouth are ⌞nothing but⌟ trouble and deception.
He has stopped doing what is wise and good.
4He invents trouble while lying on his bed
and chooses to go the wrong direction.
He does not reject evil.
5O Lord, your mercy reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God,
your judgments like the deep ocean.
You save people and animals, O Lord.
7Your mercy is so precious, O God,
that Adam’s descendants take refuge
in the shadow of your wings.
8They are refreshed with the rich foods in your house,
and you make them drink from the river of your pleasure.
9Indeed, the fountain of life is with you.
In your light we see light.
10Continue to show your mercy to those who know you
and your righteousness to those whose motives are decent.
11Do not let the feet of arrogant people step on me
or the hands of wicked people push me away.
12Look at the troublemakers who have fallen.
They have been pushed down and are unable to stand up again.

Psalms 36
36
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.
1An oracle within my heart
about the transgression of the wicked:
There is no fear of God
before their eyes.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 For they flatter themselves in their own eyes,
that their iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 The words of their mouth are wickedness and deceit;
they have ceased to be wise and to do good.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 They devise mischief on their bed;
they set themselves on a path that is not good;
they do not reject evil.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens,
and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 Your righteousness is like the great mountains,
Your judgments like the great deep;
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 How excellent is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore mankind
seeks refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 They will drink their fill from the abundance of Your house,
and You will cause them to drink from the river of Your pleasures.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 For with You is the fountain of life;
in Your light we see light.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 Do not let the foot of the arrogant come against me,
and do not let the hand of the wicked cause me to wander.
12There the workers of iniquity have fallen;
they are cast down and not able to rise.
