Psalms 36

1 [For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the LORD.] Transgression speaks to the wicked within his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David. The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.

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

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

4 He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.

He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

5 Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. LORD, you preserve man and animal.

Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.

7 How precious is your loving kindness, God. The descendants of Adam take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

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

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

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

9 For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.

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

10 Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;

11 Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

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

12 There evildoers are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

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