36:1 Sin lurks deep in the hearts of the wicked, forever urging them on to evil deeds. They have no fear of God to hold them back.
36:2 Instead, in their conceit, they think they can hide their evil deeds and not get caught.
36:3 Everything they say is crooked and deceitful; they are no longer wise and good.
36:4 They lie awake at night to hatch their evil plots instead of planning how to keep away from wrong.
36:5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, is as great as all the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
36:6 Your justice is as solid as God’s mountains. Your decisions are as full of wisdom as the oceans are with water. You are concerned for men and animals alike.
36:7 How precious is your constant love, O God! All humanity takes refuge in the shadow of your wings.
36:8 You feed them with blessings from your own table and let them drink from your rivers of delight.
36:9 For you are the Fountain of life; our light is from your light.
36:10 Pour out your unfailing love on those who know you! Never stop giving your blessings to those who long to do your will.
36:11 Don’t let these proud men trample me. Don’t let their wicked hands push me around.
36:12 Look! They have fallen. They are thrown down and will not rise again.
