Psalm 36:1-5 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. Transgression speaks to the wickeddeep in his heart; there is no fear of Godbefore his eyes.

2. For he flatters himself in his own eyesthat his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.

3. The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good.

4. He plots trouble while on his bed;he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil.

5. Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,your faithfulness to the clouds.
