Psalm 36

New International Version

² In their own eyes they flatter themselves
    too much to detect or hate their sin.^(D)
3 The words of their mouths^(E)are wicked and deceitful;^(F)
    they fail to act wisely^(G)or do good.^(H)
4 Even on their beds they plot evil;^(I)
    they commit themselves to a sinful course^(J)
    and do not reject what is wrong.^(K)

⁵ Your love,Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness^(L)to the skies.^(M)
6 Your righteousness^(N)is like the highest mountains,^(O)
    your justice like the great deep.^(P)
    You,Lord, preserve both people and animals.^(Q)
7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!^(R)
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.^(S)
8 They feast on the abundance of your house;^(T)
    you give them drink from your river^(U)of delights.^(V)
9 For with you is the fountain of life;^(W)
    in your light^(X)we see light.

¹⁰ Continue your love^(Y)to those who know you,^(Z)
    your righteousness to the upright in heart.^(AA)
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me,
    nor the hand of the wicked^(AB)drive me away.
¹² See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!^(AC)
