For the music director; written by the Lord’s servant, David; an oracle. 2
36:1 An evil man is rebellious to the core. 3
He does not fear God, 4
36:2 for he is too proud
to recognize and give up his sin. 5
36:3 The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful;
he does not care about doing what is wise and right. 6
55:21 His words are as smooth as butter, 7
but he harbors animosity in his heart. 8
His words seem softer than oil,
but they are really like sharp swords. 9
