36 An oracle: the wicked has rebellion
in the midst of his^[b] heart.
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
² For he flatters himself in his eyes,
hating to detect his iniquity.^[c]
3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit.
He has ceased to have insight and to do good.
⁴ He plans sin on his bed.
He puts himself on a way that is not good.
He does not reject evil.
⁵ O Yahweh, your loyal love extends into the heavens,
your faithfulness unto the clouds.
⁶ Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,^[d]
your judgments like the great deep.
You save man and beast, O Yahweh.
⁷ How precious is your loyal love, O God,
and the children of humankind
take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
⁸ They are refreshed with the fullness^[e] of your house,^[f]
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
⁹ For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
¹⁰ Prolong your loyal love to those who know you,
and your righteousness to the upright of heart.
¹¹ Do not let a foot of pride come against me,
nor let a wicked hand make me to wander homeless.
¹² There doers of evil have fallen;
they are thrust down and not able to rise.
