Salmos 36:1-9

1 La rebelión del impío me dice al corazón: No hay temor de Dios delante de sus ojos

2 Se lisonjea, por tanto, en sus propios ojos, hasta que su iniquidad sea hallada aborrecible

3 Las palabras de su boca son iniquidad y fraude; no quiso entender para bien hacer

4 Iniquidad piensa sobre su cama; está en camino no bueno, no aborrece el mal

5 SEÑOR, hasta los cielos es tu misericordia; tu verdad hasta las nubes

6 Tu justicia como los montes de Dios, tus juicios abismo grande: Oh SEÑOR, al hombre y al animal conservas

7 ¡Cuán ilustre, oh Dios, es tu misericordia! Por eso los hijos de Adán se abrigan en la sombra de tus alas

8 Se embriagarán de la grosura de tu Casa; y tú los abrevarás del torrente de tus delicias

9 Porque contigo está el manantial de la vida; en tu luz veremos la luz

Salmos 36:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord. This title, which the psalmist takes to himself, regards him not only as a creature, every man being the servant of the Lord as such, of right, though not in fact; but as a king, he being a minister of God for good to good men, and for evil to evil men; and also may respect him as a renewed man; and it is here used in opposition to and distinction from the wicked, who are the servants of sin and Satan, of whom he speaks in this psalm. The Syriac and Arabic versions in their titles suggest that this psalm was written when David was persecuted by Saul, and which is the sense of some interpreters; but R. Obadiah thinks Ahithophel is designed by the wicked man in it; and so it was penned on account of Absalom's rebellion.
