About the Author

Psalms 36 from Scroll 4Q83 Psalmsa

For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh.

[..]

2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,

too much to detect and hate his sin.

[..]

4 He plots iniquity on his bed.

He sets counsels himself in a every way that is not good.

He doesn’t abhor evil.

 

Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens.

Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.

Your judgments are like a great deep.

Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

[..]

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house.

You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

 

Psalms 36 from Scroll 11Q8 Psalmsd

12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen.

They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
