About Psalm 36 (Meaning and Inspiration)
Psalm 36 is a song of wisdom that celebrates:
God’s steadfast love
The depravity of the wicked
God as refuge and provider
Confidence in divine justice
This Psalm gives us the contrast between the wicked pattern of evil and deceit to God’s love, faithfulness and justice. In this gospel interpretation, those themes are expressed through strong solo vocalist, smooth background harmony, and a traditional gospel feel that reflects the roots of classic gospel music.
Lyrics - Psalm 36 (Gospel Song Version)
Sin whispers softly to the heart,
A voice that teaches eyes to stray;
It paints deceit upon the tongue,
And leads the foolish far away.
But higher than the morning sky,
Your mercy towers ever bright;
Your righteousness like mountains stand,
Unmoved, enduring, filled with might.
Your judgments dive like ocean depths—
Unsearchable, yet always fair;
You save both humankind and beast,
Your kindness reaching everywhere.
How precious is Your steadfast love!
We shelter in Your wings unseen;
You feed us from Your flowing grace,
A banquet rich, a feast serene.
O-oh, With You is life’s unfading spring,
The fountain where all blessings rise;
And in Your light we learn to see—
Your truth revealing to our eyes.
Continue, Lord, Your faithful love
To hearts that walk in honesty;
Let pride not press us to the dust,
Nor wicked hands bring injury.
For evil falls by its own path,
Its schemes undone, its power ceased;
But those held fast within Your grace
Will rest in mercy, live in peace.
