Psalms 36

1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, [that there is] no fear of God before his eyes.

The transgression of the wicked man says within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.

He devises iniquity upon his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.

5 Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens, thy faithfulness to the skies.

6 Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God. Thy judgments are a great deep. O Jehovah, thou preserve man and beast.

7 How excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

How precious is thy loving kindness, O God, and the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou will make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

9 For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

For with thee is the fountain of life. In thy light we shall see light.

10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

O continue thy loving kindness to those who know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners drive me away.

12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
