Psalms 36

1 For the leader. By David, the servant of ADONAI: Crime speaks to the wicked. I perceive this in my heart; before his eyes there is no fear of God.

1 I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:There is no fear of God before their eyes.

2 For, the way he sees it, crime makes his life easy that is, until his wrongs are discovered; then, he is hated.

2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.

3 His words are wrong and deceitful; he has stopped being wise and doing good.

3 The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.

4 He devises trouble as he lies in bed; so set is he on his own bad way that he doesn't hate evil.

4 Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong.

5 ADONAI, in the heavens is your grace; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

5 Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, your judgments are like the great deep. You save man and beast, ADONAI.

6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.

7 How precious, God, is your grace! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings,

7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

8 they feast on the rich bounty of your house, and you have them drink from the stream of your delights.

8 They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.

9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

10 Continue your grace to those who know you and your righteousness to the upright in heart.

10 Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Don't let the foot of the proud tread on me or the hands of the wicked drive me away.

11 May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 There they lie fallen, those evildoers, flung down and unable to rise.

12 See how the evildoers lie fallen— thrown down, not able to rise!
