Psalms 36
1 To the Chief Musician. Of the Servant of Yahweh—of David. Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;
Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself [too much] in his own eyes, to find his iniquity—to hate [it].
For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
3 The words of his mouth, are iniquity and deceit, he hath left off to show discretion by doing well:
The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.
4 Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, —he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!
He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
5 O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:
O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.
6 Thy righteousness, is like mighty mountains, and, thy just decrees, are a great resounding deep, —Man and beast, thou savest, O Yahweh!
Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:
7 How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, —Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:
O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
8 They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, —And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.
They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
9 For, with thee, is the fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.
For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
10 Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, —and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.
Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride reach me, nor, the hand of the lawless, scare me away.
Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
12 There did the workers of iniquity fall, —thrust down and not able to rise!
There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
