Psalms 36:1-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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