Psalm 36

For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh.

 ^36:1An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked:
      "There is no fear of God before his eyes."

 ^36:2For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
      Too much to detect and hate his sin.

 ^36:3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit.
      He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

 ^36:4He plots iniquity on his bed.
      He sets himself in a way that is not good;
      He doesn't abhor evil.

  ^36:5Your lovingkindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens.
      Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

 ^36:6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.
      Your judgments are a great deep.

 Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

 ^36:7How precious is your lovingkindness, God!
      The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

 ^36:8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house.
      You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

 ^36:9For with you is the spring of life.
      In your light shall we see light.

 ^36:10Oh continue your lovingkindness to those who know you,
      Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

 ^36:11Don't let the foot of pride come against me.
      Don't let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

 ^36:12There the workers of iniquity are fallen.
      They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
