| Chapter 36 |
1 |
An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: 'There is no fear of God before his eyes.' --
|
2 |
For he flatters himself in his own eyes, Too much to detect and hate his sin. --
|
3 |
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good. --
|
4 |
He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good; He doesn't abhor evil. --
|
5 |
Your lovingkindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. --
|
6 |
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal. --
|
7 |
How precious is your lovingkindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings. --
|
8 |
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures. --
|
9 |
For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light. --
|
10 |
Oh continue your lovingkindness to those who know you, Your righteousness to the upright in heart. --
|
11 |
Don't let the foot of pride come against me. Don't let the hand of the wicked drive me away. --
|
12 |
There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. Psalm 37 By David. --
