1.2 KiB
1.2 KiB
Psalm 36
- Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.
They have no fear of God at all.
- In their blind conceit,
they cannot see how wicked they really are.
- Everything they say is crooked and deceitful.
They refuse to act wisely or do good.
- They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots.
Their actions are never good.
They make no attempt to turn from evil.
- Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
- Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD.
- How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
- You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delights.
- For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see.
- Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you;
give justice to those with honest hearts.
- Don't let the proud trample me
or the wicked push me around.
- Look! Those who do evil have fallen!
They are thrown down, never to rise again.
