36 Psalms

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of Yahweh. Wickedness of the Sinner & God's Goodness. Psalm 36(v35)
1 Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart;
there is no fear of God before his eyes.

 
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.

 
3 The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit;
he has ceased to act wisely and do good.

 
4 He plots mischief while on his bed;
he sets himself in a way that is not good;
he spurns not evil.

 
5 Your steadfast love, O Yahweh, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.

 
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God,
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O Yahweh.

 
7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

 
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

 
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.

 
10 O continue your steadfast love to those who know you,
and your salvation to the upright of heart!

 
11 Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

 
12 There the evil doers lie prostrate,
they are thrust down, unable to rise.

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
