Psalm 36

Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.


They have no fear of God to restrain them.


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 what is good.


They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots.


Their course of action is 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 rivers of delight.


For you are the fountain of life,


the light by which we see.
