Psalm 36

1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

1 Sin speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts; they reject God and do not have reverence for him.

2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

2 Because they think so highly of themselves, they think that God will not discover their sin and condemn it.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

3 Their speech is wicked and full of lies; they no longer do what is wise and good.

4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

4 They make evil plans as they lie in bed; nothing they do is good, and they never reject anything evil.

5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

5 Lord, your constant love reaches the heavens; your faithfulness extends to the skies.

6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

6 Your righteousness is towering like the mountains; your justice is like the depths of the sea. People and animals are in your care.

7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

7 How precious, O God, is your constant love! We find protection under the shadow of your wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

8 We feast on the abundant food you provide; you let us drink from the river of your goodness.

9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

9 You are the source of all life, and because of your light we see the light.

10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

10 Continue to love those who know you and to do good to those who are righteous.

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

11 Do not let proud people attack me or the wicked make me run away.

12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

12 See where evil people have fallen. There they lie, unable to rise.
