תהילים 36

1 למנצח לעבד-יהוה לדוד ב נאם-פשע לרשע בקרב לבי אין-פחד אלהים לנגד עיניו

To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord. Of David. The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.

2 כי-החליק אליו בעיניו למצא עונו לשנא

For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.

3 דברי-פיו און ומרמה חדל להשכיל להיטיב

In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

4 און יחשב--על-משכבו יתיצב על-דרך לא-טוב רע לא ימאס

He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.

5 יהוה בהשמים חסדך אמונתך עד-שחקים

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.

6 צדקתך כהררי-אל--משפטיך תהום רבה אדם ובהמה תושיע יהוה

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

7 מה-יקר חסדך אלהים ובני אדם--בצל כנפיך יחסיון

How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

8 ירוין מדשן ביתך ונחל עדניך תשקם

The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.

9 כי-עמך מקור חיים באורך נראה-אור

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.

10 משך חסדך לידעיך וצדקתך לישרי-לב

O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 אל-תבואני רגל גאוה ויד-רשעים אל-תנדני

Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.

12 שם נפלו פעלי און דחו ולא-יכלו קום

There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.
