To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.

Rom 3.18. Transgression speaks to the wicked
deep in his heart;
there is no fear of God
before his eyes.
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit;
he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4He plots mischief while on his bed;
he sets himself in a way that is not good;
he spurns not evil.
5Thy steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
thy faithfulness to the clouds.
6Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God,
thy judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast thou savest, O Lord.
7How precious is thy steadfast love, O God!
The children of men take refuge in the shadow of thy wings.
8They feast on the abundance of thy house,
and thou givest them drink from the river of thy delights.
9For with thee is the fountain of life;
in thy light do we see light.
10O continue thy steadfast love to those who know thee,
and thy salvation to the upright of heart!
11Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There the evildoers lie prostrate,
they are thrust down, unable to rise.

Psalms 36
36
Human Wickedness#Ps 36 Hebrew title: By David, the LORD's servant.
1 #
Rom 3.18
Sin speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts;
they reject God and have no reverence for him.
2Because they think so highly of themselves,
they think that God will not discover their sin and condemn it.
3Their speech is wicked and full of lies;
they no longer do what is wise and good.
4They make evil plans as they lie in bed;
nothing they do is good,
and they never reject anything evil.
The Goodness of God
5 LORD, your constant love reaches the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the skies.
6Your righteousness is towering like the mountains;
your justice is like the depths of the sea.
People and animals are in your care.
7How precious, O God, is your constant love!
We find#36.7 precious, O God, is… find; or precious is your constant love! Gods and people find. protection under the shadow of your wings.
8We feast on the abundant food you provide;
you let us drink from the river of your goodness.
9You are the source of all life,
and because of your light we see the light.
10Continue to love those who know you
and to do good to those who are righteous.
11Do not let proud people attack me
or the wicked make me run away.
12See where evil people have fallen.
There they lie, unable to rise.
