Psalm 36

Good News Translation

Human Wickedness^[a]

36 ^(A)Sin speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts;
    they reject God and do not have reverence for him.
²Because they think so highly of themselves,
    they think that God will not discover their sin and condemn it.
³Their speech is wicked and full of lies;
    they no longer do what is wise and good.
⁴They make evil plans as they lie in bed;
    nothing they do is good,
    and they never reject anything evil.

The Goodness of God

⁵Lord, your constant love reaches the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the skies.
⁶Your righteousness is towering like the mountains;
your justice is like the depths of the sea.
People and animals are in your care.

⁷How precious, O God, is your constant love!
    We find^[b] protection under the shadow of your wings.
⁸We feast on the abundant food you provide;
    you let us drink from the river of your goodness.
⁹You are the source of all life,
    and because of your light we see the light.

¹⁰Continue to love those who know you
and to do good to those who are righteous.
¹¹Do not let proud people attack me
or the wicked make me run away.

¹²See where evil people have fallen.
There they lie, unable to rise.

詩篇 36

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)

惡人之罪惡

36 耶和華的僕人大衛的詩，交於伶長。

¹惡人的罪過，在他心裡說：「我眼中不怕神。」
²他自誇自媚，以為他的罪孽終不顯露，不被恨惡。
³他口中的言語盡是罪孽詭詐，他與智慧善行已經斷絕。
⁴他在床上圖謀罪孽，定意行不善的道，不憎惡惡事。

神之慈愛

⁵耶和華啊，你的慈愛上及諸天，你的信實達到穹蒼。

⁶你的公義好像高山，你的判斷如同深淵。耶和華啊，人民、牲畜你都救護。
⁷神啊，你的慈愛何其寶貴，世人投靠在你翅膀的蔭下。
⁸他們必因你殿裡的肥甘得以飽足，你也必叫他們喝你樂河的水。
⁹因為在你那裡有生命的源頭，在你的光中我們必得見光。
¹⁰願你常施慈愛給認識你的人，常以公義待心裡正直的人。
¹¹不容驕傲人的腳踐踏我，不容凶惡人的手趕逐我。
¹²在那裡，作孽的人已經仆倒，他們被推倒，不能再起來。
