Psalm

36 Transgression speaks to the wicked one deep within his heart;

There is no fear of God before his eyes.+

 2 For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much

To detect and hate his error.+

 3 The words of his mouth are hurtful and deceptive;

He shows no insight for doing what is good.

He is set on a path that is not good;

He does not reject what is bad.

 5 O Jehovah, your loyal love reaches to the heavens,+

Your faithfulness up to the clouds.

 6 Your righteousness is like majestic mountains;*+

Your judgments are like vast, deep waters.+

 8 They drink their fill of the rich bounty* of your house,+

And you cause them to drink of the torrent of your delights.+

 9 With you is the source of life;+

By your light we can see light.+

10 Continue showing your loyal love to those who know you,+

And your righteousness, to the upright in heart.+

11 Do not let the foot of the haughty tread on me

Or the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 There the wrongdoers have fallen;

They have been knocked down and cannot get up.+
