Psalm 36
GOD’S WORD Translation
For the choir director; by David, the Lord’s servant.
36 There is an inspired truth about the wicked person
who has rebellion in the depths of his heart:
He is not terrified of God.
2 He flatters himself and does not hate or ⌞even⌟ recognize his guilt.
3 The words from his mouth are ⌞nothing but⌟ trouble and deception.
He has stopped doing what is wise and good.
4 He invents trouble while lying on his bed
and chooses to go the wrong direction.
He does not reject evil.
5 O Lord, your mercy reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God,
your judgments like the deep ocean.
You save people and animals, O Lord.
7 Your mercy is so precious, O God,
that Adam’s descendants take refuge
in the shadow of your wings.
8 They are refreshed with the rich foods in your house,
and you make them drink from the river of your pleasure.
9 Indeed, the fountain of life is with you.
In your light we see light.
10 Continue to show your mercy to those who know you
and your righteousness to those whose motives are decent.
11 Do not let the feet of arrogant people step on me
or the hands of wicked people push me away.
12 Look at the troublemakers who have fallen.
They have been pushed down and are unable to stand up again.
Salmos 36
La Biblia de las Américas
La maldad del hombre y la misericordia de Dios
Para el director del coro. Salmo de David, siervo del Señor.
36 La transgresión habla al impío dentro de su[a] corazón;
no hay temor de Dios delante de sus ojos(A).
2 Porque en sus propios ojos la transgresión le engaña[b](B)
en cuanto a descubrir su iniquidad y aborrecerla.
3 Las palabras de su boca son iniquidad y engaño(C);
ha dejado de ser sabio y de hacer el bien[c](D).
4 Planea la iniquidad en su cama(E);
se obstina en un camino que no es bueno(F);
no aborrece el mal(G).
5 Tu misericordia, oh Señor, se extiende hasta[d] los cielos(H),
tu fidelidad, hasta el firmamento.
6 Tu justicia es como los montes de Dios[e](I);
tus juicios son como profundo abismo(J).
Tú preservas, oh Señor, al hombre y al animal(K).
7 ¡Cuán preciosa es, oh Dios, tu misericordia(L)!
Por eso los hijos de los hombres se refugian a la sombra de tus alas(M).
8 Se sacian de la abundancia[f] de tu casa(N),
y les das a beber del río de tus delicias(O).
9 Porque en ti[g] está la fuente de la vida(P);
en tu luz vemos la luz.
10 Continúa tu misericordia para con los que te conocen(Q),
y tu justicia para con los rectos de corazón(R).
11 Que no me alcance el pie del orgullo,
ni me mueva la mano de los impíos.
12 Allí han caído los que obran iniquidad;
han sido derribados y no se pueden levantar(S).

Psalm 36
King James Version
36 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that 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.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest 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.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 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.
