Psalms 36

   |   

Psalm 36[a]

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.

1 I have a message from God in my heart
    concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:[b](a)
There is no fear(b) of God
    before their eyes.(c)

2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves
    too much to detect or hate their sin.(d)
3 The words of their mouths(e) are wicked and deceitful;(f)
    they fail to act wisely(g) or do good.(h)
4 Even on their beds they plot evil;(i)
    they commit themselves to a sinful course(j)
    and do not reject what is wrong.(k)

5 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness(l) to the skies.(m)
6 Your righteousness(n) is like the highest mountains,(o)
    your justice like the great deep.(p)
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.(q)
7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!(r)
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.(s)
8 They feast on the abundance of your house;(t)
    you give them drink from your river(u) of delights.(v)
9 For with you is the fountain of life;(w)
    in your light(x) we see light.

10 Continue your love(y) to those who know you,(z)
    your righteousness to the upright in heart.(aa)
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me,
    nor the hand of the wicked(ab) drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!(ac)
