Psalms 36:1-4

How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love

To the choirmaster. Of David, the ^aservant of the Lord.

1 Transgression speaks to the wicked
deep in his heart; ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Syriac, Jerome (compare Septuagint); most Hebrew manuscripts in my heart}
^cthere is no fear of God
before his eyes.
2 ^dFor he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3 The words of his mouth are ^etrouble and deceit;
^fhe has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4 He ^gplots ^htrouble while on his bed;
he sets himself in ⁱa way that is not good;
^jhe does not reject evil.

Psalms 52:2

2 Your ^ktongue plots destruction,
like ^la sharp razor, you ^mworker of deceit.

Psalms 58:3

3 The wicked are ⁿestranged from the womb;
they go astray from birth, speaking lies.

Psalms 62:4

4 They only plan to thrust him down from his ^ohigh position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
^pThey bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah

Psalms 62:9

9 ^qThose of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate ^rare a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
^sthey are together lighter than a breath.

Psalms 111:1-3

Great Are the Lord’s Works

1 ^{▼▼This psalm is an acrostic poem, each line beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet} ^uPraise the Lord!
I ^vwill give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of ^wthe upright, in the congregation.
2 Great are the ^xworks of the Lord,
^ystudied by all who delight in them.
3 ^zFull of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his ^aarighteousness endures forever.

Jeremiah 9:3-6

3 ^abThey bend their tongue like a bow;
falsehood and not truth has grown strong ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew and not for truth they have grown strong} in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
^adand they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 ^aeLet everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every ^afbrother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor ^aggoes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.
6 Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,
^ahthey refuse to know me, declares the Lord.

Micah 6:12

12 Your ^{▼▼Hebrew whose} rich men are ^ajfull of violence;
your inhabitants ^akspeak lies,
and ^altheir tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

Romans 1:29-31

29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
