36:1 For the leader. Of David, the servant of the Lord.
36:2 Sin directs the heart of the wicked man; his eyes are closed to the fear of God.
36:3 For he lives with the delusion: his guilt will not be known and hated.
36:4 Empty and false are the words of his mouth; he has ceased to be wise and do good.
36:5 On his bed he hatches plots; he sets out on a wicked way; he does not reject evil.
36:6 Lord, your mercy reaches to heaven; your fidelity, to the clouds.
36:7 Your justice is like the highest mountains; your judgments, like the mighty deep; human being and beast you sustain, Lord.
36:8 How precious is your mercy, O God! The children of Adam take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
36:9 They feast on the rich food of your house; from your delightful stream you give them drink.
36:10 For with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we see light.
36:11 Show mercy on those who know you, your just defense to the upright of heart.
36:12 Do not let the foot of the proud overtake me, nor the hand of the wicked disturb me.
36:13 There make the evildoers fall; thrust them down, unable to rise.
