Psalms 36:1-9 ▼

1 For the one directing. Of the servant of YHWH, of David. An utterance Of the transgression of the wicked is within my heart; there is no dread of God before his eyes.

2 For he is flattering to himself in his own eyes, having found his iniquity to be hated.

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

4 He devises iniquity upon his bed; he stands himself on a path that is not good; he does not reject evil.

5 O YHWH, Your loving devotion is into the heavens, Your faithfulness as far as the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of Might, Your ordinances the great deep; You keep safe man and beast, O YHWH.

7 How precious is Your loving devotion, O God! Even the sons of man take refuge under the shadow of Your wings.

8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, and You let them drink from the stream of Your delights.

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