Psalms 36:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible
1 An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.
3 The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
4 Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.
5 Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
