Psalm 36:1-3
Contemporary English Version

(For the music leader by David, the Lord's servant.)

Human Sin and God's Goodness

1 (A) Sinners don't respect God;
    sin is all they think about.
2 They like themselves too much
to hate their own sins
    or even to see them.
3 They tell deceitful lies,
and they don't have the sense
    to live right.
