          DASV: Psalm 36    

For the music director, of David, the servant of the LORD.

1 Transgression speaks deep into the heart of the wicked;
     there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 He flatters himself in his own eyes,
     mistakenly believing that his iniquity will not be found out and hated.
3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;
     he has given up being wise and doing good.
4 He devises iniquity on his bed;
     he commits himself to a way that is not good;
           he does not reject evil.

5 Your loyal love, O LORD, extends to heaven,
     your faithfulness to the skies.
6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains;
     your justice is like the ocean depths;
           O LORD, you preserve both humans and animals.
7 How precious is your loyal love, O God!
     The human race takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 They are abundantly satisfied with the food from your house;
     you let them drink from the river of your delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
     in your light we see light.

10 Pour out your loyal love on those who know you,
     your righteousness on the upright in heart.
11 Do not allow the foot of the proud to trample on me,
     or let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There the evildoers lie fallen;
     they are knocked down,
           unable to rise.
