Psalms [Praises] 36:2-11

²For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.

³The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

⁴He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.

⁵Your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, Adonai , is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

⁶Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Adonai , you preserve man and animal.

⁷How precious is your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

⁸They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

⁹For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.

¹⁰Oh continue your cheshed ·loving-kindness· to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

¹¹Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
