1.2 KiB
Psalm 36Human Wickedness and God's Love
-
An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked person: Dread of God has no effect on him.
-
For with his flattering opinion of himself, he does not discover and hate his iniquity.
-
The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.
-
Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not good, and he does not reject evil.
Lord, your faithful love reaches to heaven, your faithfulness to the clouds.
- Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your judgments like the deepest sea.
Lord, you preserve people and animals.
-
How priceless your faithful love is, God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
-
They are filled from the abundance of your house. You let them drink from your refreshing stream.
-
For the wellspring of life is with you. By means of your light we see light.
-
Spread your faithful love over those who know you, and your righteousness over the upright in heart.
-
Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me or the hand of the wicked drive me away.
-
There! The evildoers have fallen. They have been thrown down and cannot rise.
