Psalms 36

1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

1To the Overseer. --By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes,

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

2For he made <FI>it<Fi> smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

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

3The words of his mouth <FI>are<Fi> iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently--to do good.

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

4Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

5 Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

5O Jehovah, in the heavens <FI>is<Fi> Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness <FI>is<Fi> unto the clouds.

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

6Thy righteousness <FI>is<Fi> as mountains of God, Thy judgments <FI>are<Fi> a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

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

7How precious <FI>is<Fi> Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

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

8They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

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

9For with Thee <FI>is<Fi> a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.

10Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

10Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.

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

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

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

12There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
