How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love

To the choirmaster. Of David, the 36:0 See Ps. 18, titleservant of the Lord.

1Transgression speaks to the wicked

deep in his heart;36:1 Some Hebrew manuscripts, Syriac, Jerome (compare Septuagint); most Hebrew manuscripts in my heart

36:1 Cited Rom. 3:18there is no fear of God

before his eyes.

236:2 Deut. 29:19; [Ps. 10:3; 49:18]For he flatters himself in his own eyes

that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.

3The words of his mouth are 36:3 [Ps. 12:2] trouble and deceit;

36:3 [Jer. 4:22]he has ceased to act wisely and do good.

4He 36:4 Mic. 2:1; [Prov. 4:16] plots 36:4 Ps. 10:7trouble while on his bed;

he sets himself in 36:4 Isa. 65:2a way that is not good;

36:4 [Ps. 97:10]he does not reject evil.

5Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,

your faithfulness to the clouds.

636:6 [Ps. 71:19] Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;

36:6 Ps. 92:5; Rom. 11:33your judgments are like the great deep;

man and beast you 36:6 Ps. 104:14, 15; 145:9, 15, 16; Neh. 9:6save, O Lord.

736:7 [Ps. 31:19] How precious is your steadfast love, O God!

The children of mankind take refuge 36:7 See Ruth 2:12in the shadow of your wings.

8They feast on 36:8 Ps. 23:5; 27:4; 65:4; Isa. 25:6; See Jer. 31:12-14the abundance of your house,

and you give them drink from 36:8 Ps. 46:4; Rev. 22:1the river of 36:8 Ps. 16:11your delights.

9For with you is 36:9 Jer. 2:13; John 4:10, 14; 5:26the fountain of life;

36:9 John 1:9; Acts 26:18; 1 Pet. 2:9in your light do we see light.

10Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who 36:10 Jer. 22:16; Gal. 4:9; [Ps. 79:6] know you,

and your righteousness to 36:10 See Ps. 7:10the upright of heart!

11Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,

nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12There 36:12 Ps. 94:4the evildoers lie fallen;

they are thrust down, 36:12 See Ps. 1:5unable to rise.
