Psalms 36

PSALM 36
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.
1The wicked man's transgression
within my heart thus says,
Undoubtedly the fear of God
is not before his eyes.
2Because himself he flattereth
in his own blinded eye,
Until the hatefulness be found
of his iniquity.
3Words from his mouth proceeding are,
fraud and iniquity:
He to be wise, and to do good,
hath left off utterly.
4He mischief, lying on his bed,
most cunningly doth plot:
He sets himself in ways not good,
ill he abhorreth not.
5Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav'ns;
thy truth doth reach the clouds:
6Thy justice is like mountains great;
thy judgments deep as floods:
Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
7How precious is thy grace!
Therefore in shadow of thy wings
men's sons their trust shall place.
8They with the fatness of thy house
shall be well satisfy'd;
From rivers of thy pleasures thou
wilt drink to them provide.
9Because of life the fountain pure
remains alone with thee;
And in that purest light of thine
we clearly light shall see.
10Thy loving-kindness unto them
continue that thee know;
And still on men upright in heart
thy righteousness bestow.
11Let not the foot of cruel pride
come, and against me stand;
And let me not removed be,
Lord, by the wicked's hand.
12There fallen are they, and ruined,
that work iniquities:
Cast down they are, and never shall
be able to arise.

Tehillim 36
36
(For the one directing. Of Dovid, the eved Hashem)
1Peysha speaketh to the rashah within my lev, that there is no pachad Elohim (fear of G-d) before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his avon (iniquity) be found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and mirmah (deceit); he hath ceased to be wise, and to do tov (good).
4 He deviseth evil upon his mishkav (bed); he setteth himself in a derech that is not tov; he abhorreth not rah.
5 Thy chesed, Hashem, is in HaShomayim; and Thy emunah (faithfulness) reacheth unto the clouds.
6 Thy tzedakah is like the great mountains; Thy mishpatim are tehom rabbah (a great deep); Hashem, Thou preservest adam (man) and behemah (beast).
7 How precious is Thy chesed, O Elohim! Therefore the Bnei Adam find refuge under the shadow of Thy wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of Thy Beis;#36:8 Hamikdash and Thou shalt give them to drink of Thy river of delight.
9 For with Thee is the Makor Chayyim (fountain of life); in Thy Ohr shall we see ohr.
10 O continue Thy chesed unto them that know Thee; and Thy tzedakah to the yishrei lev (the ones upright of heart).
11 Let not the regel ga'avah (foot of pride) come against me, and let not the yad of the resha'im drive me away.
12 There are the po'alei aven (workers of iniquity) fallen; they are thrown down, and shall not be able to rise.
