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 Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David.
1The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, ‘Fear of God is not before his eyes,
2For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
3The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently — to do good.
4Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.’
5O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.
6Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.
7How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
8They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
9For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
10Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.
11Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
12There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
