←Prev   Psalms 36 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



36:1  For the director of music. A psalm of David, the servant of the Lord. I have a message from God in my heart. It is about the evil ways of anyone who sins. They don’t have any respect for God.
36:2  They praise themselves so much that they can’t see their sin or hate it.
36:3  Their mouths speak words that are evil and false. They do not act wisely or do what is good.
36:4  Even as they lie in bed they make evil plans. They commit themselves to a sinful way of life. They never say no to what is wrong.
36:5  Lord, your love is as high as the heavens. Your faithful love reaches up to the skies.
36:6  Your holiness is as great as the height of the highest mountains. You are as honest as the oceans are deep. Lord, you keep people and animals safe.
36:7  How priceless your faithful love is! People find safety in the shadow of your wings.
36:8  They eat well because there is more than enough in your house. You let them drink from your river that flows with good things.
36:9  You have the fountain of life. We are filled with light because you give us light.
36:10  Keep on loving those who know you. Keep on doing right to those whose hearts are honest.
36:11  Don’t let the feet of those who are proud step on me. Don’t let the hands of those who are evil drive me away.
36:12  See how those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down and can’t get up.
