THE BIBLE

Psalms
Chapter 36


36:1  For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh. An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: "There is no fear of God before his eyes."

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

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

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

36:5  Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

36:6  Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

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

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

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

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

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

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