Holman Christian Standard Bible

Psalms 36:1-5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. An oracle within my heartconcerning the transgression of the wicked person:There is no dread of God before his eyes,

2. for in his own eyes he flatters himself too muchto discover and hate his sin.

3. The words of his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.

4. Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not goodand does not reject evil.

5. Lord, Your faithful love reaches to heaven,Your faithfulness to the clouds.
