Psalm 36

For the Music Director. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.

An oracle within my heart
    about the transgression of the wicked:
There is no fear of God
    before their eyes.

For they flatter themselves in their own eyes,
    that their iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
The words of their mouth are wickedness and deceit;
    they have ceased to be wise and to do good.
