Psalm 36
The transgressor speaks from the wickedness in his own heart
: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
For he flatters himself in his own sight
: he hates his iniquity to be found out.
The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit
: he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
He plots mischief as he lies upon his bed
: he has set himself on a path that is not good,
he does not spurn evil.
Your unfailing kindness, O Lord, is in the heavens
: and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the strong mountains
: and your justice as the great deep;
you, O Lord, save both man and beast.
How precious, O God, is your enduring kindness
: the children of men shall take refuge
under the shadow of your wings.
They shall be satisfied with the good things of your house
: and you will give them drink from the river of your delights.
For with you is the well of life
: and in your light shall we see light.
O continue your merciful kindness toward those who know you
: and your righteous dealing to those that are true of heart.
Let not the foot of the proud come against me
: nor the hand of the ungodly drive me away.
There are they fallen, those who do evil
: they are thrust down, and shall not rise again.
