Psalms 36

1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity shall not be found out and be hated.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise [and] to do good.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good.

4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

He devises mischief on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he abhors not evil.

5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the skies.

Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

6 Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O LORD, you preserve man and beast.

7 How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

How excellent is your loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.

10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

O continue your loving kindness to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

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