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.

Psalms 36
36
To the Heavenly Worship Leader, [A Psalm (sacred song about or to God)] of David [Beloved] the servant of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
1The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, [that there is] no fear of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] before his eyes.
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, [and] to do good.
4He devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhors not evil.
5Your2s mercy, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], [is] in the heavens; [and] youi faithfulness [reaches] unto the clouds.
6Your2s righteousness [is] like the great mountains; youri judgments [are] a great deep: O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], youi preserve man and beast.
7How excellent [is] youri lovingkindness, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of youri wings.
8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of youri house; and youi shall make them drink of the river of youri pleasures.
9For with youi [is] the fountain of life: in youri light shall we see light.
10O continue youri lovingkindness unto them that know youi; and youri righteousness to the upright in heart.
11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
