Psalms 36:1-9 ▼

1 For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh. A revelation 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 loving kindness, 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. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

7 How precious is your loving kindness, 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 we will see light.
