1 [To the chief Musician. {A Psalm} of the servant of Jehovah; of David.] The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, {even} when his iniquity is found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
4 He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.
5 Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness {reacheth} unto the clouds.
6 Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.
7 How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.
1 To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord. Of David.
2 \36:1\The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.
3 \36:2\For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.
4 \36:3\In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.
5 \36:4\He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.
6 \36:5\Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.
7 \36:6\Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.
8 \36:7\How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.
9 \36:8\The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.
10 \36:9\For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.
11 \36:10\O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.
12 \36:11\Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.
13 \36:12\There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.
