Psalm 36 - New International Version, 2011 bible

Psalm 36

¹For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. [1] I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: [56] There is no fear of God before their eyes.

²In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.

³The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.

⁴Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong.

⁵Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

⁶Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.

⁷How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

⁸They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.

⁹For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

¹⁰Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

¹¹May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

¹²See how the evildoers lie fallen — thrown down, not able to rise!
