Psalms 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
36.1 Elohim
God 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
36.7 Elohim
God! 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.
