Psalm 36

 ¹ Sin speaks to the wicked in their hearts.
       They have no fear of God.
 ² They think too much of themselves
       so they don't see their sin and hate it.
 ³ Their words are wicked lies;
       they are no longer wise or good.
 ⁴ At night they make evil plans;
       what they do leads to nothing good.
       They don't refuse things that are evil.

 ⁵ Lord, your love reaches to the heavens,
       your loyalty to the skies.
 ⁶ Your goodness is as high as the mountains.
       Your justice is as deep as the great ocean.
    Lord, you protect both people and animals.
 ⁷ God, your love is so precious!
       You protect people in the shadow of your wings.
 ⁸ They eat the rich food in your house,
       and you let them drink from your river of pleasure.
 ⁹ You are the giver of life.
       Your light lets us enjoy life.

 ¹⁰ Continue to love those who know you
       and to do good to those who are good.
 ¹¹ Don't let proud people attack me
       and the wicked force me away.
 ¹² Those who do evil have been defeated.
       They are overwhelmed;
       they cannot do evil any longer. (Psalm 36, New Century Version) Pin It Now!
