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