36:1 For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
36:2 For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.
36:3 The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
36:4 Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.
36:5 Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
36:6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
36:7 How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
36:8 They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
36:9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
36:10 Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
36:11 May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
36:12 See how the evildoers lie fallen–thrown down, not able to rise!
36:1 Transgression speaks to the wicked / Within his heart; / There is no dread of God / Before his eyes.
36:2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, / That his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
36:3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; / He has ceased being wise and doing good.
36:4 He plans wickedness on his bed; / He sets himself on a way that is not good; / He does not reject evil.
36:5 O Jehovah, Your lovingkindness is in the heavens; / Your faithfulness reaches unto the skies.
36:6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; / Your judgments are like the great deep; / You preserve man and beast, O Jehovah.
36:7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! / Thus the sons of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
36:8 They are saturated with the fatness of Your house, / And You cause them to drink of the river of Your pleasures.
36:9 For with You is the fountain of life; / In Your light we see light.
36:10 Continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, / And Your righteousness to those who are upright in heart.
36:11 Do not let the foot of the arrogant come upon me, / Nor let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
36:12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen; / They are cast down and unable to rise.
