36:1 Sin speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts; they reject God and do not have reverence for him. |
36:2 Because they think so highly of themselves, they think that God will not discover their sin and condemn it. |
36:3 Their speech is wicked and full of lies; they no longer do what is wise and good. |
36:4 They make evil plans as they lie in bed; nothing they do is good, and they never reject anything evil. |
36:5 LORD, your constant love reaches the heavens; your faithfulness extends to the skies. |
36:6 Your righteousness is towering like the mountains; your justice is like the depths of the sea. People and animals are in your care. |
36:7 How precious, O God, is your constant love! We find protection under the shadow of your wings. |
36:8 We feast on the abundant food you provide; you let us drink from the river of your goodness. |
36:9 You are the source of all life, and because of your light we see the light. |
36:10 Continue to love those who know you and to do good to those who are righteous. |
36:11 Do not let proud people attack me or the wicked make me run away. |
36:12 See where evil people have fallen. There they lie, unable to rise. |
