Psalms 36

Psalm 36

Human Wickedness and Divine Goodness

To the leader. Of David, the servant of the Lord.

1 # Rom 3.18 Transgression speaks to the wicked

deep in their hearts;

there is no fear of God

before their eyes.

2For they flatter themselves in their own eyes

that their iniquity cannot be found out and hated.

3 # Jer 4.22 The words of their mouths are mischief and deceit;

they have ceased to act wisely and do good.

4 # Prov 4.16; Isa 65.2; Mic 2.1 They plot mischief while on their beds;

they are set on a way that is not good;

they do not reject evil.

5Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,

your faithfulness to the clouds.

6 # Job 11.8; Ps 77.19; Rom 11.33 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains;

your judgments are like the great deep;

you save humans and animals alike, O Lord.

7 # Ruth 2.12 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!

All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

8 # Job 20.17; Ps 65.4; Rev 22.1 They feast on the abundance of your house,

and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

9 # Jer 2.13; 1 Pet 2.9 For with you is the fountain of life;

in your light we see light.

10O continue your steadfast love to those who know you

and your salvation to the upright of heart!

11Do not let the foot of the arrogant tread on me

or the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 # Ps 140.10 There the evildoers lie prostrate;

they are thrust down, unable to rise.
