For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh. A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. (MT 36:2; LXX 35:1; LXX 35:2; Rahlfs 35:1; Rahlfs 35:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ לְעֶֽבֶד־יְהוָ֬ה לְדָוִֽד׃
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin. (MT 36:3; LXX 35:3; Rahlfs 35:3)
נְאֻֽם־פֶּ֣שַׁע לָ֭רָשָׁע בְּקֶ֣רֶב לִבִּ֑י אֵֽין־פַּ֥חַד אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָֽיו׃
3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good. (MT 36:4; LXX 35:4; Rahlfs 35:4)
כִּֽי־הֶחֱלִ֣יק אֵלָ֣יו בְּעֵינָ֑יו לִמְצֹ֖א עֲוֺנ֣וֹ לִשְׂנֹֽא׃
4He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil. (MT 36:5; LXX 35:5; Rahlfs 35:5)
דִּבְרֵי־פִ֭יו אָ֣וֶן וּמִרְמָ֑ה חָדַ֖ל לְהַשְׂכִּ֣יל לְהֵיטִֽיב׃
5Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. (MT 36:6; LXX 35:6; Rahlfs 35:6)
אָ֤וֶן ׀ יַחְשֹׁ֗ב עַֽל־מִשְׁכָּ֫ב֥וֹ יִ֭תְיַצֵּב עַל־דֶּ֣רֶךְ לֹא־ט֑וֹב רָ֝֗ע לֹ֣א יִמְאָֽס׃
6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal. (MT 36:7; LXX 35:7; Rahlfs 35:7)
יְ֭הוָה בְּהַשָּׁמַ֣יִם חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ עַד־שְׁחָקִֽים׃
7How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings. (MT 36:8; LXX 35:8; Rahlfs 35:8)
צִדְקָֽתְךָ֨ ׀ כְּֽהַרְרֵי־אֵ֗ל מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶךָ תְּה֣וֹם רַבָּ֑ה אָ֤דָֽם־וּבְהֵמָ֖ה תוֹשִׁ֣יעַ יְהוָֽה׃
8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures. (MT 36:9; LXX 35:9; Rahlfs 35:9)
מַה־יָּקָ֥ר חַסְדְּךָ֗ אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים וּבְנֵ֥י אָדָ֑ם בְּצֵ֥ל כְּ֝נָפֶ֗יךָ יֶחֱסָיֽוּן׃
9For with you is the spring of life. In your light we will see light. (MT 36:10; LXX 35:10; Rahlfs 35:10)
יִ֭רְוְיֻן מִדֶּ֣שֶׁן בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וְנַ֖חַל עֲדָנֶ֣יךָ תַשְׁקֵֽם׃
10Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart. (MT 36:11; LXX 35:11; Rahlfs 35:11)
כִּֽי־עִ֭מְּךָ מְק֣וֹר חַיִּ֑ים בְּ֝אוֹרְךָ֗ נִרְאֶה־אֽוֹר׃
11Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away. (MT 36:12; LXX 35:12; Rahlfs 35:12)
מְשֹׁ֣ךְ חַ֭סְדְּךָ לְיֹדְעֶ֑יךָ וְ֝צִדְקָֽתְךָ֗ לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
12There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. (MT 36:13; LXX 35:13; Rahlfs 35:13)
אַל־תְּ֭בוֹאֵנִי רֶ֣גֶל גַּאֲוָ֑ה וְיַד־רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים אַל־תְּנִדֵֽנִי׃
