Psalm 36 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ Transgression speaks to the wrong within his heart; Fear of Elohim is not before his eyes.

² For he flatters himself in his own eyes, To find his crookedness to be hated.

³ The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise, to do good.

⁴ He plots wickedness on his bed; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not despise evil.

⁵ O יהוה, Your kindness is in the heavens, And Your trustworthiness reaches to the clouds.

⁶ Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Your right-rulings are a great deep; O יהוה, You save man and beast.

⁷ How precious is Your kindness, O Elohim! And the sons of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

⁸ They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.

⁹ For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.

¹⁰ Draw out Your kindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

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

¹² There the workers of wickedness have fallen; They have been overthrown And have been unable to rise.
