| Chapter 36 |
1 |
To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Yehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes, |
2 |
For he made it smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated. |
3 |
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good. |
4 |
Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.` |
5 |
O Yehovah, in the heavens is Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness is unto the clouds. |
6 |
Thy righteousness is as mountains of God, Thy judgments are a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Yehovah. |
7 |
How precious is Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust. |
8 |
They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink. |
9 |
For with Thee is a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light. |
10 |
Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart. |
11 |
Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me. |
12 |
There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise! |
