36:1 For the choir director. By the servant of the Lord. By David. A declaration about the rebellion of the wicked is deep in my heart. There is no dread of God before his eyes,
36:2 because he flatters himself in his own eyes too much to notice his guilt and to hate it.
36:3 The words from his mouth are deception and deceit. He has given up being wise and doing good.
36:4 He plots deception even on his bed. He sets out on a path that is not good. He does not reject wrong.
36:5 Lord, your mercy reaches to the heavens. Your faithfulness to the skies.
36:6 Your righteousness is as high as the mountains of God. Your justice is as deep as the ocean. You save both man and animal, O Lord.
36:7 How precious is your mercy, O God! So all people find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
36:8 They are satisfied by the rich food of your house. You let them drink from your river of delights.
36:9 For with you is the fountain of life. In your light we see light.
36:10 Stretch out your mercy over those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
36:11 Do not let the foot of the proud trample me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
36:12 There the evildoers have fallen. They have been thrown down. They are not able to rise!
