Psalms 36 (in my words)

The atheist says “There is no God” so he won’t be afraid.
His pride makes him brag about himself until no one can stand to be around him.
He sees nothing wrong with saying words that lie to take advantage of others.
He thinks he can be good without God, but he is no longer wise or good.
He thinks up ways to irritate his enemies without getting caught.
He is setting himself in a way that no one will want his company.
He sees nothing wrong with people doing what is right in their own eyes.
There is no end to Your mercy and faithfulness. It reaches from earth to outer space.
You never waver from doing right like the mountains stand firm; Your judgments go beyond our understanding. In it all, O Lord, You keep alive man and beast.
How perfect in all aspects is Your lovingkindness. O God that is why children of men are able to trust You like chicks running under a hen’s wing.
They are able to be abundantly satisfied with Your generosity. It’s like getting pleasure from using a clear river for drinking, for watering crops, and bathing.
You are the never ending source of life.  We use Your light to help us to see.
Please continue to practice lovingkindness and righteousness to those who know You and who stand up for the truth.
Don’t let my pride hurt me.  Don’t let the wicked move me.
The workers of iniquity fall, even being cast down. They are fallen and can’t get up by themselves.
