Salmos 36 · A transgressão dos ímpios

1For the leader. Of the servant of GOD, of David.

2I know what Transgression says to the wicked;they have no sense of the dread of God,

3because its speech is seductive to themtill their iniquity be found out and they be hated.

4Their words are evil and deceitful;they will not consider doing good.

5In bed they plot mischief;they are set on a path of no good,they do not reject evil.

6O ETERNAL One, Your faithfulness reaches to heaven;Your steadfastness to the sky;

7Your beneficence is like the high mountains;Your justice like the great deep;human and animal You deliver, O ETERNAL One.

8How precious is Your faithful care, O God!Humankind shelters in the shadow of Your wings.

9They feast on the rich fare of Your house;You let them drink at Your refreshing stream.

10With You is the fountain of life;by Your light do we see light.

11Bestow Your faithful care on those devoted to You,and Your beneficence on the upright.

12Let not the foot of the arrogant tread on me,or the hand of the wicked drive me away.

13There lie the evildoers, fallen,thrust down, unable to rise.
