Psalm 36:1-3
Revised Standard Version

Human Wickedness and Divine Goodness

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.

36 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.
3 The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit;
    he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
