Psalms 36:1-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 36
1 Wrongdoing speaks to the ungodly within his heart; There is no fear of God before his eyes. 2For it flatters him in his own eyes Concerning the discovery of his wrongful deed and the hatred of it. 3The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. 4He plans wickedness on his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not reject evil. 5Your mercy, Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. 6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like the great deep. Lord, You protect mankind and animals. 7How precious is Your mercy, God! And the sons of mankind take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. 8They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights.King James Version

Chapter 36
1For the choir director. Of David, the Lord’s servant. An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked person: Dread of God has no effect on him. 2For with his flattering opinion of himself, he does not discover and hate his iniquity. 3The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.
4Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not good, and he does not reject evil.
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to heaven, your faithfulness to the clouds.
6Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your judgments like the deepest sea. Lord, you preserve people and animals.
7How priceless your faithful love is, God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8They are filled from the abundance of your house. You let them drink from your refreshing stream.
New Living Translation
Chapter 36
1Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all. 2In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. 3Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do good. 4They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.
5Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
6Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
7How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.
8You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights.
English Standard Version
Chapter 36
1 Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. 2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. 3The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good. 4He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil. 5Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. 6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord. 7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. 8They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.New International Version
Chapter 36
1For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before their eyes. 2In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin. 3The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.
4Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong.
5Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
6Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
7How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
