September 8: Psalms 36–39

Psalms 36–39 Psalms 36–39 (Listen) How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love To the choirmaster. Of David, the servant of the LORD. 36   Transgression speaks to the wicked<br />    deep in his heart;1<br />  there is no fear of God<br />    before his eyes.<br />2   For he flatters himself in his own eyes<br />    that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.<br />3   The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;<br />    he has ceased to act wisely and do good.<br />4   He plots trouble while on his bed;<br />    he sets himself in a way that is not good;<br />    he does not reject evil.<br /> 5   Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens,<br />    your faithfulness to the clouds.<br />6   Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;<br />    your judgments are like the great deep;<br />    man and beast you save, O LORD.<br /> 7   How precious is your steadfast love, O God!<br />    The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.<br />
