Psalms Chapter 36

1aTo the choirmaster.↑

A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.

1bThe transgressive speech of the wicked man is,

“In my heart there is no fear of God before his eyes.”

2For he flatters himself in his own sight,

Indifferent to finding iniquity in himself

Indifferent to being hateful.

3The words of his mouth are vanity and deceit.

He has ceased acting wisely

And doing what is good.

4He devises vanity on his couch;

He takes his stand on a way that is not good.

He does not reject evil.

5O Lord, your kindness is in heaven;

Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

6Your righteousness is like tremendous mountains;

Your justice is like a great deep.

O Lord, you save man and beast.

7How precious your kindness is, O God,

As the sons of Adam shelter in the shade of your wings.

8They will be satiated with the fat of your house,

And you will give them drink

With your pleasurable brook.

9For the fountain of life is with you;

In your light, we will see light.

10Continue your kindness

With those who know you,

And your righteousness

With the upright in heart.

11Do not let a proud foot come upon me,

And do not let the hand of the wicked drive me off course.

12That is where perpetrators of iniquity have fallen;

They have been thrust down,

And they cannot get up.
