Psalms 36
1 For the music director. Of the servant of the LORD. Of David.
2 Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in my heart: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
3 For he flatters himself in his own eyes until his guilt is uncovered and hated.
4 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.
5 He plots wickedness on his bed; he sets himself on a path that is not good and does not reject evil.
6 LORD, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
7 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your justice like the great deep. You save humans and animals, LORD.
8 How precious is your faithful love, O God! Human beings take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
9 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
10 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
11 Extend your faithful love to those who know you, and your righteousness to those who are upright in heart.
12 May the foot of the proud not come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
13 There the evildoers have fallen; they have been thrown down and cannot rise.
