Psalm 36:1-4

Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 36

Human Wickedness and God’s Love

For the choir director. Of David, the Lord’s servant.

¹An oracle within my heart
concerning the transgression of the wicked person:
Dread of God has no effect on him.^[a]^(A)
²For with his flattering opinion of himself,
he does not discover and hate his iniquity.^(B)
³The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive;^(C)
he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.^(D)
⁴Even on his bed he makes malicious plans.^(E)
He sets himself on a path that is not good,
and he does not reject evil.^(F)
