Psalms 36

¹For the music director. Of David, the servant of Yahweh. An oracle: the wicked has rebellion in the midst of his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes. ²For he flatters himself in his eyes, hating to detect his iniquity. ³The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit. He has ceased to have insight and to do good. ⁴He plans sin on his bed. He puts himself on a way that is not good. He does not reject evil. ⁵O Yahweh, your loyal love extends into the heavens, your faithfulness unto the clouds. ⁶Your righteousness is ⌞like the mighty mountains⌟, your judgments like the great deep. You save man and beast, O Yahweh. ⁷How precious is your loyal love, O God, and the children of humankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. ⁸They are refreshed with the ⌞fullness⌟ of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. ⁹For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. ¹⁰Prolong your loyal love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart. ¹¹Do not let a foot of pride come against me, nor let a wicked hand make me to wander homeless. ¹²There doers of evil have fallen; they are thrust down and not able to rise.
