Psalms 36

¹Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all.

²In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are.

³Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do good.

⁴They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.

⁵Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.

⁶Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.

⁷How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.

⁸You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights.

⁹For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.

¹⁰Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts.

¹¹Don’t let the proud trample me or the wicked push me around.

¹²Look! Those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down, never to rise again.
