תהילים 36

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

For the chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. An evil man speaks of his transgression from deep in his heart, there is no fear of God in his eyes.

2 כי-החליק אליו בעיניו למצא עונו לשנא

For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.

3 דברי-פיו און ומרמה חדל להשכיל להיטיב

His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.

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

While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.

5 יהוה בהשמים חסדך אמונתך עד-שחקים

Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.

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

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.

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

How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.

8 ירוין מדשן ביתך ונחל עדניך תשקם

They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.

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

Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.

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

Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 שם נפלו פעלי און דחו ולא-יכלו קום

Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.
