Psalm 36 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE) Psalm 36Human Wickedness and Divine Providence1 For the leader. Of David, the servant of the Lord. I2 Sin directs the heart of the wicked man;
his eyes are closed to the fear of God.
3 For he lives with the delusion:
his guilt will not be known and hated.
4 Empty and false are the words of his mouth;
he has ceased to be wise and do good.
5 On his bed he hatches plots;
he sets out on a wicked way;
he does not reject evil. II6 Lord, your mercy reaches to heaven;
your fidelity, to the clouds.
7 Your justice is like the highest mountains;
your judgments, like the mighty deep;
human being and beast you sustain, Lord.
8 How precious is your mercy, O God!
The children of Adam take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
9 They feast on the rich food of your house;
from your delightful stream you give them drink.
10 For with you is the fountain of life,
and in your light we see light.
11 Show mercy on those who know you,
your just defense to the upright of heart.
12 Do not let the foot of the proud overtake me,
nor the hand of the wicked disturb me.
13 There make the evildoers fall;
thrust them down, unable to rise.

Psalm 36 New International Version (NIV) Psalm 36For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.1 I have a message from God in my heart
concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:
There is no fear of God
before their eyes. 2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves
too much to detect or hate their sin.
3 The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful;
they fail to act wisely or do good.
4 Even on their beds they plot evil;
they commit themselves to a sinful course
and do not reject what is wrong. 5 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light. 10 Continue your love to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen—
thrown down, not able to rise!
