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