Psalms 36 [Context] [Commentary] 
|
| 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 loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. |
| 6. |
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal. |
| 7. |
How precious is your loving kindness, 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 loving kindness 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. By David. |
