Psalm Chapter 36 Back NextPsalm 36 For the Chief Musician. By
David, the servant of Yahweh.
{36:1} An oracle is within my
heart about the disobedience of the wicked: "There is no fear of God before his eyes."
{36:2} For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
{36:3} The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
{36:4} He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.
{36:5} Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the
heavens. Your
faithfulness reaches to the skies.
{36:6} Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.
{36:7} How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
{36:8} They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them
drink of the river of your pleasures.
{36:9} For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
{36:10} Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
{36:11} Don't let the foot of pride come against me. Don't let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
{36:12} There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
