Psalm 36: Dixit injustus

There is a voice of rebellion deep in the heart of the wicked; *

there is no fear of God before his eyes.

He flatters himself in his own eyes *

that his hateful sin will not be found out.

The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; *

he has left off acting wisely and doing good.

He thinks up wickedness upon his bed

and has set himself in no good way; *

he does not abhor that which is evil.

Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, *

and your faithfulness to the clouds.

Your righteousness is like the strong mountains,

your justice like the great deep; *

you save both man and beast, O LORD.

How priceless is your love, O God! *

your people take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

They feast upon the abundance of your house; *

you give them drink from the river of your delights.

For with you is the well of life, *

and in your light we see light.

Continue your loving-kindness to those who know you, *

and your favor to those who are true of heart.

Let not the foot of the proud come near me, *

nor the hand of the wicked push me aside.

See how they are fallen, those who work wickedness! *

they are cast down and shall not be able to rise.
