NIV Psalms 36 Chapter
36:1
An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
36:2
For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.
36:3
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
36:4
Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.
36:5
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
36:6
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
36:7
How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
36:8
They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
36:9
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
36:10
Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
36:11
May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
36:12
See how the evildoers lie fallen-- thrown down, not able to rise!
