Texts -- Psalms 36:1-5 (NET)

Context
Psalm 36
36:1 For the music director ; written by the Lord’s servant , David ; an oracle . An evil man is rebellious to the core . He does not fear God , 36:2 for he is too proud to recognize and give up his sin . 36:3 The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful ; he does not care about doing what is wise and right . 36:4 He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed ; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle ; he does not reject what is evil . 36:5 O Lord , your loyal love reaches to the sky ; your faithfulness to the clouds .
