Psalm 36:1–10

1  Transgression speaks to the wicked

deep in his heart;1

ythere is no fear of God

before his eyes.

2  zFor he flatters himself in his own eyes

that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.

3  The words of his mouth are atrouble and deceit;

bhe has ceased to act wisely and do good.

4  He cplots dtrouble while on his bed;

he sets himself in ea way that is not good;

fhe does not reject evil.

5  Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,

your faithfulness to the clouds.

6  gYour righteousness is like the mountains of God;

hyour judgments are like the great deep;

man and beast you isave, O Lord.

7  jHow precious is your steadfast love, O God!

The children of mankind take refuge kin the shadow of your wings.

8  They feast on lthe abundance of your house,

and you give them drink from mthe river of nyour delights.

9  For with you is othe fountain of life;

pin your light do we see light.

10  Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who qknow you,

and your righteousness to rthe upright of heart!
