Psalms 36:1-9 ▼

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked || Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,

2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, || To find his iniquity to be hated.

3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, || He ceased to act prudently—to do good.

4 He devises iniquity on his bed, || He stations himself on a way not good, || He does not refuse evil.”

5 O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, || Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, || Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.

7 How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, || And the sons of men trust || In the shadow of Your wings.

8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, || And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.

9 For a fountain of life [is] with You, || In Your light we see light.
