Psalm
36 Wednesday Morning
1
Sin inspires the wicked man
deep in his heart; * he has no idea of the fear of God.
But his God will destroy him by a look, * having discovered his
blasphemy.
His speech is full of wicked lies; * he is too crude to think or
do good.
He thinks up mischief as he
lies on bed, * embarks on a course of crime, * and shrinks from no evil.
Your kindness, Yahweh, is from heaven; * your faithfulness
reaches the clouds.
Your goodness towers like the mountains; * your providence is as
deep as the ocean.
You make men and animals thrive. * Yahweh, how precious is
your kindness.
Gods and men find refuge * in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the good food
of your house; * you serve them drink from the river of your goodness.
With you is the fountain of
life; * in your Garden we shall see the light.
Continue to love those who know you, * and to do good to the
upright of heart.
Let the leg of proud men not overtake me, * nor the arm of the
wicked fling me down.
See how evildoers fall, *
knocked down, unable to rise.
