Psalms 36:4 in Context — Psalms 36

2 La parole impie du méchant est au fond de son cœur; La crainte de Dieu n’est pas devant ses yeux.

3 Car il se flatte à ses propres yeux, Pour consommer son iniquité, Pour assouvir sa haine.

4 Les paroles de sa bouche sont fausses et trompeuses; Il renonce à agir avec sagesse, à faire le bien.

5 Il médite l’injustice sur sa couche, Il se tient sur une voie qui n’est pas bonne, Il ne repousse pas le mal.

6 Éternel! Ta bonté atteint jusqu’aux cieux, Ta fidélité jusqu’aux nues.
