Psalms 36

   |   

Wickedness of Men and Lovingkindness of God.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.

1 Transgression speaks to the ungodly within [a]his heart;
There is (a)no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For [b]it (b)flatters him in his own eyes
Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it.
3 The (c)words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
He has (d)ceased to [c]be wise and to do good.
4 He (e)plans wickedness upon his bed;
He sets himself on a (f)path that is not good;
He (g)does not despise evil.

5 Your (h)lovingkindness, O Lord, [d]extends to the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6 Your (i)righteousness is like the [e]mountains of God;
Your (j)judgments are like a great deep.
O Lord, You (k)preserve man and beast.
7 How (l)precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men (m)take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8 They (n)drink their fill of the [f]abundance of Your house;
And You give them to drink of the (o)river of Your delights.
9 For with You is the (p)fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.

10 O continue Your lovingkindness to (q)those who know You,
And Your (r)righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come upon me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There the doers of iniquity have fallen;
They have been thrust down and (s)cannot rise.
