36 Ang pagsalangsang ng masama ay nagsasabi sa loob ng aking puso: walang takot sa Dios sa harap ng kaniyang mga mata.

Sapagka't siya'y nanghihibo ng kaniyang sariling mga mata, na ang kaniyang kasamaan ay hindi masusumpungan at pagtataniman.

Ang mga salita ng kaniyang bibig ay kasamaan at karayaan: iniwan niya ang pagkapantas at paggawa ng mabuti.

Siya'y kumakatha ng kasamaan sa kaniyang higaan; siya'y lumagay sa isang daan na hindi mabuti; hindi niya kinayayamutan ang kasamaan.

Ang iyong kagandahang-loob, Oh Panginoon, ay nasa mga langit: ang iyong pagtatapat ay umaabot hanggang sa langit.

Ang iyong katuwiran ay gaya ng mga bundok ng Dios: ang iyong mga kahatulan ay dakilang kalaliman: Oh Panginoon, iyong iniingatan ang tao at hayop.

Napaka mahalaga ng iyong kagandahang-loob, Oh Dios! At ang mga anak ng mga tao ay nanganganlong sa ilalim ng iyong mga pakpak.

Sila'y nangabubusog ng sagana ng katabaan ng iyong bahay; at iyong paiinumin sila sa ilog ng iyong kaluguran.

Sapagka't nasa iyo ang bukal ng buhay: sa iyong liwanag makakakita kami ng liwanag.

10 Oh, ilagi mo nawa ang iyong kagandahang-loob sa kanila na nangakakakilala sa iyo: at ang iyong katuwiran sa matuwid sa puso.

11 Huwag nawang dumating laban sa akin ang paa ng kapalaluan, at huwag nawa akong itaboy ng kamay ng masama.

12 Doo'y nangabuwal ang mga manggagawa ng kasamaan: sila'y nangalugmok at hindi makakatindig.

36 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

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.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
(B)He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
(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.

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the [b]great mountains;
(F)Your judgments are a great deep;
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men (G)put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
(H)They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from (I)the river of Your pleasures.
(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.

With God Is the Fountain of Life

Psalm 36

For the music director, of David the servant of Adonai.
An oracle of Transgression—within my heart, to the wicked one:
“There is no fear of God before his eyes.[a]
For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
too much to notice his iniquity—or hate it.
His mouth’s words are iniquity and deceit.
He has ceased to be wise and do good.
Even on his bed he plans sin.
He puts himself on a path that is no good, never refusing evil.”

Your love, Adonai, is in the heavens,
Your faithfulness up to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.
Your judgments are like the great deep.
You preserve man and beast, Adonai.
How precious is Your love, O God!
The children of men find refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
They drink their fill from the abundance of Your House.
You give them drink from the river of Your delights.
10 For with You is the fountain of life—
in Your light we see light.
11 Continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
and Your justice to the upright in heart.
12 May the foot of pride never tread on me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
13 There the evildoers lie fallen—
thrown down, not able to rise!
