36
1 An oracle in my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes too much to discover and hate his iniquity.
3 The words of his mouth are evil and deceit;
he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.
4 He plots evil on his bed;
he sets himself on a way that is not good and does not reject evil.
5 LORD, your steadfast love reaches the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are a great deep.
You save man and beast, LORD.
7 How precious is your steadfast love, God!
Humankind takes refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 They are filled from the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
10 Extend your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Do not let the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There the evildoers have fallen;
they are thrust down and cannot rise.
