תהילים 36

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

An inner sanctuary is within my heart about the rebellious breach of relationship of the wicked: “There is no fear of Elohim ·Deity, Judge· before his eyes.”

2 כי-החליק אליו בעיניו למצא עונו לשנא

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his depravity (moral evil).

3 דברי-פיו און ומרמה חדל להשכיל להיטיב

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

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

He plots vain striving of iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.

5 יהוה בהשמים חסדך אמונתך עד-שחקים

Your chesed ·loving-kindness·, Adonai, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

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

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

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

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

8 ירוין מדשן ביתך ונחל עדניך תשקם

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

9 כי-עמך מקור חיים באורך נראה-אור

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

10 משך חסדך לידעיך וצדקתך לישרי-לב

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

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

Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 שם נפלו פעלי און דחו ולא-יכלו קום

There the workers of vain striving of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
