Psalms 36:1-9 ▼

1 For the choir director. Of the servant of Yahweh, of David. Transgression declares to the ungodly within his heart; There is no dread of God before his eyes.

2 For it flatters him in his eyes For one to discover his iniquity and hate it.

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

4 He devises wickedness upon his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not despise evil.

5 Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, is in the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like a great deep. O Yahweh, You save man and beast.

7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the sons of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

8 They are satisfied from the richness of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.

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