Psalms 36

1 For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh. A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

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.

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, until 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] iniquity and deceit: he hath ceased to be wise, [and] 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 mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.

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

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

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

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

7 How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

How excellent [is] thy loving-kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust 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 shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

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

O continue thy loving-kindness to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t 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 remove me.

12 There the workers of iniquity 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 shall not be able to rise.
