Tehillim 36 - Chapter 36 - Psalm 36

Lamnatsêach leéved Adonai ledavid
Neum pêsha larashá bekérev libi, en pachad Elohim lenégued enav
Ki hechelic elav beenav, limtso avono lisno
Divrê fiv áven umirma, chadal lehaskil lehetiv
Áven iach’shov al mishcavo, yitiatsev al dérech lo tov, ra lo yim’as
Adonai behashamáyim chasdêcha, emunatechá ad shechakim
Tsidcatechá keharerê El, mishpatêcha tehom raba, adam uvehema toshía Adonai
Ma iacar chasdechá Elohim, uvenê adam betsel kenafêcha iechessaiun
Yirveiun midéshen betêcha, venachal adanêcha tashkem
Ki imechá mecor chayim, beorechá nir’e or
Meshoch chasdechá leiodeêcha, vetsidcatechá leyishrê lev
Al tevoêni réguel gaava, veiad reshaim al tenidêni
Sham nafelu pôale áven, dôchu velo iachelu cum

1. To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.
2. Transgression speaks to the wicked in his heart, there is no fear of God before his eyes.
3. For he flatters himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity cannot be found and hated.
4. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely, and to do good.
5. He plots mischief while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not loathe evil.
6. Your loving kindness, O Lord, is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
7. Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep; O Lord, you preserve man and beast.
8. How excellent is your loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
9. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
10. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light shall we see light.
11. O continue your loving kindness to those who know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
12. Let not the foot of arrogance come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
13. There are the evil doers fallen; they are cast down, and are not able to rise.

For protection from evil

This psalm is a message to those who follow their evil inclination, that tells them, "Do not place the fear of God before you," and brings them to sin by beautifying evil deeds in their eyes. For so is his way: "He descends (to earth) and corrupts, then goes up (to the Heavenly Court) and prosecutes."
