NRSV Psalms 36 Chapter
36:1
Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts; there is no fear of God before their eyes.
36:2
For they flatter themselves in their own eyes that their iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
36:3
The words of their mouths are mischief and deceit; they have ceased to act wisely and do good.
36:4
They plot mischief while on their beds; they are set on a way that is not good; they do not reject evil.
36:5
Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
36:6
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments are like the great deep; you save humans and animals alike, O LORD.
36:7
How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
36:8
They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
36:9
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
36:10
O continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your salvation to the upright of heart!
36:11
Do not let the foot of the arrogant tread on me, or the hand of the wicked drive me away.
36:12
There the evildoers lie prostrate; they are thrust down, unable to rise.
