Psalms 36

New American Bible	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ For the leader. Of David, the servant of the LORD.	¹ To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes.
² Sin directs the heart of the wicked; their eyes are closed to the fear of God.	² For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
³ For they live with the delusion: their guilt will not be known and hated.	³ The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
⁴ Empty and false are the words of their mouth; they have ceased to be wise and do good.	⁴ He plots mischief while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he spurns not evil.
⁵ In their beds they hatch plots; they set out on a wicked way; they do not reject evil.	⁵ Thy steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, thy faithfulness to the clouds.
⁶ LORD, your love reaches to heaven; your fidelity, to the clouds.	⁶ Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God, thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast thou savest, O LORD.
⁷ Your justice is like the highest mountains; your judgments, like the mighty deep; all living creatures you sustain, LORD.	⁷ How precious is thy steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of thy wings.
⁸ How precious is your love, O God! We take refuge in the shadow of your wings.	⁸ They feast on the abundance of thy house, and thou givest them drink from the river of thy delights.
⁹ We feast on the rich food of your house; from your delightful stream you give us drink.	⁹ For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light do we see light.
¹⁰ For with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we see light.	¹⁰ O continue thy steadfast love to those who know thee, and thy salvation to the upright of heart!
¹¹ Continue your kindness toward your friends, your just defense of the honest heart.	¹¹ Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
¹² Do not let the foot of the proud overtake me, nor the hand of the wicked disturb me.	¹² There the evildoers lie prostrate, they are thrust down, unable to rise.
¹³ There make the evildoers fall; thrust them down, never to rise.
