Psalms 36:11
9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
10 Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
