Psalms 36:10-12

The Wicked Heart and the Fountain of Life in the LORD's Steadfast Love

wickedness speaks within the heart -> no fear of God governs the eyes -> self-flattery hides sin -> deceitful speech and evil plotting form a settled way -> the LORD's love, faithfulness, righteousness, and justice are praised as immeasurable -> His people take refuge under His wings and are satisfied in His house -> life and light flow from Him -> David prays for continued covenant love and protection -> evildoers are seen fallen and unable to rise

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
