Psalms 36:2-11

²For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.

³His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.

⁴While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.

⁵Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.

⁶Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.

⁷How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.

⁸They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.

⁹For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will see light.

¹⁰Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.

¹¹Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
