Psalms 36

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,

2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.

4 He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”

5 O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.

7 How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.

8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.

9 For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.

10 Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.

11 Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.

12 Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
