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;
The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that 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 he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
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 deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good.
4 Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, —he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!
He devises mischief on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he abhors not evil.
5 O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:
Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reaches 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!
Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O LORD, you preserve man and beast.
7 How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, —Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:
How excellent is your loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your 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 abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9 For, with thee, is the fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.
For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.
10 Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, —and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.
O continue your loving kindness to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright 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 against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12 There did the workers of iniquity fall, —thrust down and not able to rise!
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
