For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of HaShem

36:002

Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks

36:003

For it flattereth him in his eyes, until his iniquity be found, and he be hated

36:004

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

36:005

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

36:006

Thy lovingkindness, O HaShem, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies

36:007

Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast Thou preservest, O HaShem

36:008

How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O G-d! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings

36:009

They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures

36:010

For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light do we see light

36:011

O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart

36:012

Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away

36:013

There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are thrust down, and are not able to rise
