Psalms 36 / 150
- 1An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
- 2For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.
- 3The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
- 4Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.
- 5Your love, O LORD , reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
- 6Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD , you preserve both man and beast.
- 7How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
- 8They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
- 9For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
- 10Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
- 11May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
- 12See how the evildoers lie fallen- thrown down, not able to rise!
