The rebellion of sin speaks as an oracle of GOD, speaking deeply to the conscience of wicked men. Yet they are still eager to sin, for the fear of GOD is not before their eyes. See how they flatter themselves, unable to detect and detest their sins. They are crooked and conceited, convinced they can get away with anything. Their wicked words are nothing but lies. Wisdom is far from them. Goodness is both forgotten and forsaken. They lie awake at night to hatch their evil plots, always planning their schemes of darkness, and never once do they consider the evil of their ways.
But You, O LORD, Your mercy-seat love is limitless, reaching higher than the highest heavens. Your great faithfulness is infinite, stretching over the whole earth. Your righteousness is unmovable, just like the mighty mountains. Your judgments are as full of wisdom as the oceans are full of water. Your tender care and kindness leave no one forgotten, not a man or even a mouse. O GOD, how extravagant is Your cherishing love! All mankind can find a hiding place under the shadow of Your wings.
Psalms 36:1-7 TPT
The GOD-rebel tunes in to sedition— all ears, eager to sin. He has no regard for GOD, He stands insolent before Him. He has smooth-talked himself into believing that his evil will never be noticed. Words gutter from his mouth, dishwater dirty. Can’t remember when he did anything decent. Every time he goes to bed, he fathers another evil plot. When he’s loose on the streets, nobody’s safe. He plays with fire and doesn’t care who gets burned.
GOD’s love is meteoric, His loyalty astronomic, His purpose titanic, His verdicts oceanic. Yet in His largeness nothing gets lost; Not a man, not a mouse, slips through the cracks. How exquisite Your love, O GOD! How eager we are to run under Your wings,
MSG
There is an inspired truth about the wicked person who has rebellion in the depths of his heart: He is not terrified of GOD. He flatters himself and does not hate or ⌞even⌟ recognize his guilt. The words from his mouth are ⌞nothing but⌟ trouble and deception. He has stopped doing what is wise and good. He invents trouble while lying on his bed and chooses to go the wrong direction. He does not reject evil.
O LORD, Your mercy reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mountains of GOD, Your judgments like the deep ocean. You save people and animals, O LORD. Your mercy is so precious, O GOD, that Adam’s descendants take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
GW
I know the sinful utterance of the wicked: No fear of GOD confronts their own eyes, because in their own eyes they are slick with talk about their guilt ever being found out and despised. The words of their mouths are evil and dishonest. They have stopped being wise and stopped doing good. They plot evil even while resting in bed! They commit themselves to a path that is no good. They don’t reject what is evil.
But Your loyal love, LORD, extends to the skies; Your faithfulness reaches the clouds. Your righteousness is like the strongest mountains; Your justice is like the deepest sea. LORD, You save both humans and animals. Your faithful love is priceless, GOD! Humanity finds refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
CEB
Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of GOD at all. In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do good. They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.
Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, Your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD. How precious is Your unfailing love, O GOD! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of Your wings.
NLT
Sinners don't respect GOD; sin is all they think about. They like themselves too much to hate their own sins or even to see them. They tell deceitful lies, and they don't have the sense to live right. Those people stay awake, thinking up mischief, and they follow the wrong road, refusing to turn from sin.
Your love is faithful, LORD, and even the clouds in the sky can depend on You. Your decisions are always fair. They are firm like mountains, deep like the sea, and all people and animals are under Your care. Your love is a treasure, and everyone finds shelter in the shadow of Your wings.
CEV
An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked person: There is no dread of GOD before his eyes, for in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to discover and hate his sin. The words of his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good. Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not good and does not reject evil.
LORD, Your faithful love reaches to heaven, Your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments, like the deepest sea. LORD, You preserve man and beast. GOD, Your faithful love is so valuable that people take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
HCSB
Transgression speaks [like an oracle] to the wicked (godless) [deep] within his heart; There is no fear (dread) of GOD before his eyes. For he flatters and deceives himself in his own eyes Thinking that his sinfulness will not be discovered and hated [by GOD]. The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. He plans wrongdoing on his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not reject or despise evil.
Your lovingkindness and graciousness, O LORD, extend to the skies, Your faithfulness [reaches] to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of GOD, Your judgments are like the great deep. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. How precious is Your lovingkindness, O GOD! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
