Psalms - Chapter 36 | New International Version

  • 1. {For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD.} An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
  • 2. For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.
  • 3. The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
  • 4. Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.
  • 5. Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
  • 6. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
  • 7. How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
  • 8. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
  • 9. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
  • 10. Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
  • 11. May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
  • 12. See how the evildoers lie fallen-- thrown down, not able to rise!
