| Chapter 36 |
1 | An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: 'There is no fear of God before his eyes.'
|
2 | For he flatters himself in his own eyes, Too much to detect and hate his sin.
|
3 | The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
|
4 | He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good; He doesn't abhor evil.
|
5 | Your lovingkindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
|
6 | Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.
|
7 | How precious is your lovingkindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
|
8 | They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
|
9 | For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
|
10 | Oh continue your lovingkindness to those who know you, Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
|
11 | Don't let the foot of pride come against me. Don't let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
|
12 | There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. Psalm 37 By David.
