# Chapter 36
|
||
1 Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.
|
||
They have no fear of God at all.
|
||
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 good.
|
||
4 They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots.
|
||
Their actions are 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 river of delights.
|
||
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
|
||
or the wicked push me around.
|
||
12 Look! Those who do evil have fallen!
|
||
They are thrown down, never to rise again. |
