📖 Psalms 36
-
1
For the music director; written by the LORD’s servant, David; an oracle. An evil man is rebellious to the core. He does not fear God,
-
2
for he is too proud to recognize and give up his sin.
-
3
The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful; he does not care about doing what is wise and right.
-
4
He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil.
-
5
O LORD, your loyal love reaches to the sky; your faithfulness to the clouds.
-
6
Your justice is like the highest mountains, your fairness like the deepest sea; you, LORD, preserve mankind and the animal kingdom.
-
7
How precious is your loyal love, O God! The human race finds shelter under your wings.
-
8
They are filled with food from your house, and you allow them to drink from the river of your delicacies.
-
9
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
-
10
Extend your loyal love to your faithful followers, and vindicate the morally upright!
-
11
Do not let arrogant men overtake me, or let evil men make me homeless!
-
12
I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up!
