Psalms • Chapter 36
1
For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God (Elohim).
2
Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
3
Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
4
Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
5
Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
6
God (Elohim), how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
7
They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
8
You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.
9
Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.
10
Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.
11
Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
