36:1 Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart; There is no fear of God before his eyes. |
36:2 For it flatters him in his {own} eyes Concerning the discovery of his iniquity {and} the hatred {of it.} |
36:3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise {and} to do good. |
36:4 He plans wickedness upon his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not despise evil. |
36:5 Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness {reaches} to the skies. |
36:6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are {like} a great deep. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. |
36:7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. |
36:8 They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. |
36:9 For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. |
36:10 O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart. |
36:11 Let not the foot of pride come upon me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. |
36:12 There the doers of iniquity have fallen; They have been thrust down and cannot rise. |
