36:1  For the director. Of David the servant of the Lord.
36:2  Sin speaks to the wicked man in his heart; in his eyes there is no fear of God.
36:3  He deludes himself with the idea that his guilt will not be discovered and hated.
36:4  The words his mouth utters are malicious and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and act uprightly.
36:5  Even when he lies on his bed, he is hatching evil plots. He commits himself to a wicked course and refuses to reject evil.
36:6  O Lord, your kindness extends to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies.
36:7  Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments, like the mighty deep; you sustain both humans and beasts, O Lord.
36:8  How precious, O God, is your kindness! People seek refuge in the shadow of your wings.
36:9  They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them to drink from your delightful streams.
36:10  For with you is the fountain of life, and by your light we see light.
36:11  Continue to bestow your kindness on those who know you, and your saving justice on the upright of heart.
36:12  Let not the foot of the arrogant tread upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me out.
36:13  Behold, the evildoers have fallen; they are overthrown and unable to rise.
