Psalms 36CEB

11 I know the sinful utterance of the wicked: No fear of God confronts their own eyes,

2because in their own eyes they are slick with talk about their guilt ever being found out and despised.

3The words of their mouths are evil and dishonest. They have stopped being wise and stopped doing good.

4They plot evil even while resting in bed! They commit themselves to a path that is no good. They don't reject what is evil.

5But your loyal love, LORD, extends to the skies; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

6Your righteousness is like the strongest mountains; your justice is like the deepest sea. LORD, you save both humans and animals.

7Your faithful love is priceless, God! Humanity finds refuge in the shadow of your wings.

8They feast on the bounty of your house; you let them drink from your river of pure joy.

9Within you is the spring of life. In your light, we see light.

10Extend your faithful love to those who know you; extend your righteousness to those whose heart is right.

11Don't let the feet of arrogant people walk all over me; don't let the hands of the wicked drive me off.

12Look—right there is where the evildoers have fallen, pushed down, unable to get up!
