Psalm 36:1-3

How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love

To the choirmaster. Of David, the servant of the Lord.

1
Transgression speaks to the wicked
deep in his heart; 1
y there is no fear of God
before his eyes.
 2 z For he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
 3 The words of his mouth are a trouble and deceit;
b he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
