< Psalms 36 >

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks — there is no fear of God before his eyes.
לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ לְעֶֽבֶד־יְהוָה לְדָוִֽד׃ נְאֻֽם־פֶּשַׁע לָרָשָׁע בְּקֶרֶב לִבִּי אֵֽין־פַּחַד אֱלֹהִים לְנֶגֶד עֵינָֽיו׃
2 For it flattereth him in his eyes, until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.
כִּֽי־הֶחֱלִיק אֵלָיו בְּעֵינָיו לִמְצֹא עֲוֺנוֹ לִשְׂנֹֽא׃
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
דִּבְרֵי־פִיו אָוֶן וּמִרְמָה חָדַל לְהַשְׂכִּיל לְהֵיטִֽיב׃
4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
אָוֶן ׀ יַחְשֹׁב עַֽל־מִשְׁכָּבוֹ יִתְיַצֵּב עַל־דֶּרֶךְ לֹא־טוֹב רָע לֹא יִמְאָֽס׃
5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
יְהוָה בְּהַשָּׁמַיִם חַסְדֶּךָ אֱמֽוּנָתְךָ עַד־שְׁחָקִֽים׃
6 Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.
צִדְקָֽתְךָ ׀ כְּֽהַרְרֵי־אֵל מִשְׁפָּטֶךָ תְּהוֹם רַבָּה אָדָֽם־וּבְהֵמָה תוֹשִׁיעַ יְהוָֽה׃
7 How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.
מַה־יָּקָר חַסְדְּךָ אֱלֹהִים וּבְנֵי אָדָם בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ יֶחֱסָיֽוּן׃
8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.
יִרְוְיֻן מִדֶּשֶׁן בֵּיתֶךָ וְנַחַל עֲדָנֶיךָ תַשְׁקֵֽם׃
9 For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light do we see light.
כִּֽי־עִמְּךָ מְקוֹר חַיִּים בְּאוֹרְךָ נִרְאֶה־אֽוֹר׃
10 O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
מְשֹׁךְ חַסְדְּךָ לְיֹדְעֶיךָ וְצִדְקָֽתְךָ לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
11 Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
אַל־תְּבוֹאֵנִי רֶגֶל גַּאֲוָה וְיַד־רְשָׁעִים אַל־תְּנִדֵֽנִי׃
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are thrust down, and are not able to rise.
שָׁם נָפְלוּ פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן דֹּחוּ וְלֹא־יָכְלוּ קֽוּם׃
