Psalms 36NLT

1Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God to restrain them.

2In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are.

3Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do what is good.

4They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their course of action is never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.

5Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.

6Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD.

7How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.

8You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your rivers of delight.

9For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.

10Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts.

11Don't let the proud trample me; don't let the wicked push me around.

12Look! They have fallen! They have been thrown down, never to rise again.
