Psalms 36:4

Sin

2 For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.

3 The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.

Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.

5 Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
