Psalm 36

1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.

4He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

4He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

Commentary · verses 5-9

With God was a fountain of life. A fountain had a continuous flow. With God was a continuous flow of repair. We ought to grow more over time. This took life, the ability to repair. God's revelatory Word was described as the spoken word that flowed like a fountain: rhema.

10Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

10O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
