36:1 Transgression [like an oracle] speaks to the wicked deep in his heart. There is no fear or dread of God before his eyes.
36:2 For he flatters and deceives himself in his own eyes that his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.
36:3 The words of his mouth are wrong and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
36:4 He plans wrongdoing on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject or despise evil.
36:5 Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, extend to the skies, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
36:6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, Your judgments are like the great deep. O Lord, You preserve man and beast.
36:7 How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
36:8 They relish and feast on the abundance of Your house; and You cause them to drink of the stream of Your pleasures.
36:9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light.
36:10 O continue Your loving-kindness to those who know You, Your righteousness (salvation) to the upright in heart.
36:11 Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
36:12 There the workers of iniquity fall and lie prostrate; they are thrust down and shall not be able to rise.
