Rejecting — what?

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

from Psalm 36
Deceive themselves with flattery
do not detect their sins,
devising schemings murky, sly
rejecting good, wise things.

And why? because they have no thought
of God who is and knows,
no fear of penalty if caught,
respect that wisdom owes.

And yet, your love O LORD is great,
complete your faithfulness,
your justice deep we contemplate,
eternal righteousness.

And you give shelter and preserve
give life, a feast, and light
though none of us could this deserve
we drink from your delight.

Continue then this love to those
who know you, with true heart,
protected from the proud who chose
from your grace to depart.

I guess we all have to ask forgiveness for the things we don't notice (and don't really want to notice?!) wrong in ourselves, but we aren't rejecting God, who knows all and has mercy! Rhiannon
