Psalm 36:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 Even when he lies on his bed,[a]
he is hatching evil plots.
He commits himself to a wicked course
and refuses to reject evil.
6 [b]O Lord, your kindness extends to the heavens;
your faithfulness, to the skies.
7 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments, like the mighty deep;
you sustain both humans and beasts, O Lord.
