Psalm 36:4

How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love

³
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful;
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
⁴ 
He plans wrongdoing on his bed;
He sets himself on a path that is not good;
He does not reject or despise evil. ⁵
Your lovingkindness and graciousness, O Lord, extend to the skies,
Your faithfulness [reaches] to the clouds.
