Psalm 36
New Living Translation

Psalm 36

For the choir director: A psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.

1 Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.[a]
    They have no fear of God at all.
2 In their blind conceit,
    they cannot see how wicked they really are.
3 Everything they say is crooked and deceitful.
    They refuse to act wisely or do good.
4 They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots.
    Their actions are never good.
    They make no attempt to turn from evil.

5 Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens;
    your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
    your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
7     How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter
    in the shadow of your wings.
8 You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
    letting them drink from your river of delights.
9 For you are the fountain of life,
    the light by which we see.

10 Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you;
    give justice to those with honest hearts.
11 Don’t let the proud trample me
    or the wicked push me around.
12 Look! Those who do evil have fallen!
    They are thrown down, never to rise again.

Salmos 36
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)

Al director musical. De David, el siervo del Señor.

36 Dice el pecador:
    «Ser impío lo llevo en el corazón».[a]
No hay temor de Dios
    delante de sus ojos.
2 Cree que merece alabanzas
    y no halla aborrecible su pecado.
3 Sus palabras son inicuas y engañosas;
    ha perdido el buen juicio
    y la capacidad de hacer el bien.
4 Aun en su lecho trama hacer el mal;
    se aferra a su mal camino
    y persiste en la maldad.

5 Tu amor, Señor, llega hasta los cielos;
    tu fidelidad alcanza las nubes.
6 Tu justicia es como las altas montañas;[b]
    tus juicios, como el gran océano.

Tú, Señor, cuidas de hombres y animales;
7     ¡cuán precioso, oh Dios, es tu gran amor!
Todo ser humano halla refugio
    a la sombra de tus alas.
8 Se sacian de la abundancia de tu casa;
    les das a beber de tu río de deleites.
9 Porque en ti está la fuente de la vida,
    y en tu luz podemos ver la luz.

10 Extiende tu amor a los que te conocen,
    y tu justicia a los rectos de corazón.
11 Que no me aplaste el pie del orgulloso,
    ni me desarraigue la mano del impío.

12 Ved cómo fracasan los malvados:
    ¡caen a tierra, y ya no pueden levantarse!

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.

10 Continue your love(Y) to those who know you,(Z)
    your righteousness to the upright in heart.(AA)
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me,
    nor the hand of the wicked(AB) drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!(AC)

Psalm 36
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.
