36:1 For the choir director. Of David, the Lord’s servant. An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked person: Dread of God has no effect on him.
36:2 For with his flattering opinion of himself, he does not discover and hate his iniquity.
36:3 The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.
36:4 Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not good, and he does not reject evil.
36:5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to heaven, your faithfulness to the clouds.
36:6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your judgments like the deepest sea. Lord, you preserve people and animals.
36:7 How priceless your faithful love is, God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
36:8 They are filled from the abundance of your house. You let them drink from your refreshing stream.
36:9 For the wellspring of life is with you. By means of your light we see light.
36:10 Spread your faithful love over those who know you, and your righteousness over the upright in heart.
36:11 Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me or the hand of the wicked drive me away.
36:12 There! The evildoers have fallen. They have been thrown down and cannot rise.
