PSALM 36
Man’s Wickedness and God’s Perfections
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.
1 An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:
​​There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 ​​For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
​​When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
3 ​​The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
​​He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 ​​He devises wickedness on his bed;
​​He sets himself in a way that is not good;
​​He does not abhor evil.
​
5 ​​Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens;
​​Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6 ​​Your righteousness is like the great mountains;
​​Your judgments are a great deep;
​​O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
​
7 ​​How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
​​Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
8 ​​They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
​​And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
9 ​​For with You is the fountain of life;
​​In Your light we see light.
​
10 ​​Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
​​And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 ​​Let not the foot of pride come against me,
​​And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 ​​There the workers of iniquity have fallen;
​​They have been cast down and are not able to rise.
