Psalm 36
New International Version
Psalm 36[a]
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.
1 I have a message from God in my heart
concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:[b](A)
There is no fear(B) of God
before their eyes.(C)
2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves
too much to detect or hate their sin.(D)
3 The words of their mouths(E) are wicked and deceitful;(F)
they fail to act wisely(G) or do good.(H)
4 Even on their beds they plot evil;(I)
they commit themselves to a sinful course(J)
and do not reject what is wrong.(K)
5 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness(L) to the skies.(M)
6 Your righteousness(N) is like the highest mountains,(O)
your justice like the great deep.(P)
You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.(Q)
7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!(R)
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.(S)
8 They feast on the abundance of your house;(T)
you give them drink from your river(U) of delights.(V)
9 For with you is the fountain of life;(W)
in your light(X) we see light.

New King James Version
Man’s Wickedness and God’s Perfections
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.
36 An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:
(A)There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
(B)He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 (C)He devises wickedness on his bed;
He sets himself (D)in a way that is not good;
He does not [a]abhor (E)evil.
5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the [b]great mountains;
(F)Your judgments are a great deep;
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.
7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men (G)put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
8 (H)They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from (I)the river of Your pleasures.
9 (J)For with You is the fountain of life;
(K)In Your light we see light.
10 Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There the workers of iniquity have fallen;
They have been cast down and are not able to rise.

Syndarens ondska och Guds godhet
36 För körledaren. Av Herrens tjänare David.
2 (A) I mitt hjärta hör jag
vad synden viskar
till den gudlöse.
Han har ingen gudsfruktan
för ögonen,
3 (B) han intalar sig[a] att ingen
ska upptäcka och hata hans brott.
4 Hans muns ord är ondska och svek,
han vill inte vara förståndig
och god.
5 (C) Han tänker ut ondska på sin bädd,
han går en väg som inte är god.
Han skyr inte något ont.
6 (D) Herre, till himlen räcker din nåd,
din trofasthet ända till skyarna.
7 (E) Din rättfärdighet
är som väldiga berg,
dina domar
som det stora havsdjupet.
Både människor och djur
räddar du, Herre.
8 (F) Hur dyrbar är inte din nåd, o Gud!
Människors barn har sin tillflykt
i dina vingars skugga.
9 (G) De mättas av rika gåvor i ditt hus,
av din ljuvlighets ström
ger du dem att dricka.
10 (H) Hos dig är livets källa,
i ditt ljus ser vi ljus.
11 Låt din nåd bli kvar
över dem som känner dig,
din rättfärdighet över dem
som har ärliga hjärtan.
12 Låt inte de stoltas fot
trampa på mig
eller de gudlösas hand
driva bort mig.
13 (I) Där ligger förbrytarna fallna,
nerslagna så att de inte kan resa sig.
