Psalm 36


Sin directs the heart of the wicked man;

his eyes are closed to the fear of God.

For he lives with the delusion:

his guilt will not be known and hated.

Empty and false are the words of his mouth;

he has ceased to be wise and do good.

On his bed he hatches plots;

he sets out on a wicked way;

he does not reject evil.

Psalm 36:2-5


 UPDATE
Part II


LORD, your mercy reaches to heaven;

your fidelity, to the clouds.

Your justice is like the highest mountains;

your judgments, like the mighty deep;

human being and beast you sustain, LORD.

How precious is your mercy, O God!

The children of Adam take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

They feast on the rich food of your house;

from your delightful stream you give them drink.

For with you is the fountain of life,

and in your light we see light.

You should contrast sin with love.

Well, the psalmist does a pretty good job of that in versus 6 through 10. See update.
