Psalm 36

¹There is a voice of rebellion deep in the heart of the wicked; *there is no fear of God before his eyes.

²He flatters himself in his own eyes *that his hateful sin will not be found out.

³The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; *he has left off acting wisely and doing good.

⁴He thinks up wickedness upon his bed and has set himself in no good way; *he does not abhor that which is evil.

⁵Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, *and your faithfulness to the clouds.

⁶Your righteousness is like the strong mountains, your justice like the great deep; *you save both man and beast, O Lord.

⁷How priceless is your love, O God! *your people take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

⁸They feast upon the abundance of your house; *you give them drink from the river of your delights.

⁹For with you is the well of life, *and in your light we see light.

¹⁰Continue your loving-kindness to those who know you, *and your favor to those who are true of heart.

¹¹Let not the foot of the proud come near me, *nor the hand of the wicked push me aside.

¹²See how they are fallen, those who work wickedness! *they are cast down and shall not be able to rise.
