Psalm 36

1Transgression speaks to the wicked
   deep in his heart;Some Hebrew manuscripts, Syriac, Jerome (compare Septuagint); most Hebrew manuscripts in my heart
there is no fear of God
   before his eyes. 2For he flatters himself in his own eyes
   that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. 3The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;
   he has ceased to act wisely and do good. 4He plots trouble while on his bed;
   he sets himself in a way that is not good;
   he does not reject evil.

5Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
   your faithfulness to the clouds. 6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
   your judgments are like the great deep;
   man and beast you save, O LORD.

7How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
   The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. 8They feast on the abundance of your house,
   and you give them drink from the river of your delights. 9For with you is the fountain of life;
   in your light do we see light.

10Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you,
   and your righteousness to the upright of heart! 11Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
   nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. 12There the evildoers lie fallen;
   they are thrust down, unable to rise.
