Psalm 36
- 1
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes. Begin Abide·
- 2
For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin. Begin Abide·
- 3
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing. Begin Abide·
- 4
Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil. Begin Abide·
- 5
Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. Begin Abide·
- 6
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. Begin Abide·
- 7
How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings! Begin Abide·
- 8
They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights. Begin Abide·
- 9
For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light. Begin Abide·
- 10
Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart. Begin Abide·
- 11
Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. Begin Abide·
- 12
There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise. Begin Abide·
