# Chapter 36
|
|
1 Transgression speaks to the wicked
|
|
deep in his heart;
|
|
there is no fear of God
|
|
before his eyes.
|
|
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes
|
|
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
|
|
3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;
|
|
he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
|
|
4 He plots trouble while on his bed;
|
|
he sets himself in a way that is not good;
|
|
he does not reject evil.
|
|
5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
|
|
your faithfulness to the clouds.
|
|
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
|
|
your judgments are like the great deep;
|
|
man and beast you save, O Lord.
|
|
7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
|
|
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
|
|
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
|
|
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
|
|
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
|
|
in your light do we see light.
|
|
10 Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you,
|
|
and your righteousness to the upright of heart!
|
|
11 Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
|
|
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
|
|
12 There the evildoers lie fallen;
|
|
they are thrust down, unable to rise. |
