Psalms 36

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.	1 [For the choirmaster Of the servant of Yahweh Of David] Sin is the oracle of the wicked in the depthsof his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.	2 He sees himself with too flattering an eye to detect and detest his guilt;
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.	3 al he says is malicious and deceitful, he has turned his back on wisdom. To get his way
4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.	4 he hatches malicious plots even in his bed; once set on his evil course no wickedness is too much forhim.
5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.	5 Yahweh, your faithful love is in the heavens, your constancy reaches to the clouds,
6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.	6 your saving justice is like towering mountains, your judgements like the mighty deep. Yahweh, yousupport both man and beast;
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.	7 how precious, God, is your faithful love. So the children of Adam take refuge in the shadow of yourwings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.	8 They feast on the bounty of your house, you let them drink from your delicious streams;
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.	9 in you is the source of life, by your light we see the light.
10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.	10 Maintain your faithful love to those who acknowledge you, and your saving justice to the honest ofheart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.	11 Do not let the foot of the arrogant overtake me or wicked hands drive me away.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.	12 There they have fallen, the evil-doers, flung down, never to rise again.
