Psalms 36

Psalm 36

Wickedness of Humanity and Goodness of God.

¹Wrongdoing speaks to the ungodly within his heart; There is no fear of God before his eyes.

²For it flatters him in his own eyes Concerning the discovery of his wrongful deed and the hatred of it.

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

⁴He plans wickedness on his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not reject evil.

⁵¶Your mercy, Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

⁶Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like the great deep. Lord, You protect mankind and animals.

⁷How precious is Your mercy, God! And the sons of mankind take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

⁸They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights.

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

¹⁰¶Prolong Your mercy to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.

¹¹May the foot of pride not come upon me, And may the hand of the wicked not drive me away.

¹²Those who do injustice have fallen there; They have been thrust down and cannot rise.
