Psalms 36 ⓘ

36:1 For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the LORD. A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

36:2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.

36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

36:4 He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

36:5 Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

36:6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgements are like a great deep. LORD, you preserve man and animal.

36:7 How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

36:9 For with you is the spring of life. In your light we will see light.

36:10 Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

36:11 Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

36:12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
