Psalms 36:1-8

¹To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,

²For he made it smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

³The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently — to do good.

⁴Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

⁵O Jehovah, in the heavens is Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness is unto the clouds.

⁶Thy righteousness is as mountains of God, Thy judgments are a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

⁷How precious is Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

⁸They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
