Psalm 36 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
For the choir director: A psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God to restrain them.
2
In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are.
3
Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do what is good.
4
They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their course of action is never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.
5
Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
6
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD.
7
How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.
8
You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your rivers of delight.
9
For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.
10
Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts.
11
Don't let the proud trample me; don't let the wicked push me around.
12
Look! They have fallen! They have been thrown down, never to rise again.
