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