Psalms 36:4

4 delectare in Domino et dabit tibi petitiones cordis tui

Psalms 36:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 36:4

He deviseth mischief upon his bed
He casts about in his mind on his pillow, when at leisure from all employment; and consults and contrives schemes how to compass his lusts, and to do injury to others, without doing which he cannot sleep;

he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good,
in an evil way, which he chooses and delights in, and determines to continue in, he leaving the paths of righteousness to walk in the ways of darkness:

he abhorreth not evil;
which is to be abhorred both because of its nature and effects; see ( Romans 12:9 ) ; but on the contrary he loves it, takes pleasure in doing it, and in them that commit it: thus, by his thoughts, words, and actions, he appears to be devoid of the fear of God.

Psalms 36:4 In-Context

2 quoniam tamquam faenum velociter arescent et quemadmodum holera herbarum cito decident
3 spera in Domino et fac bonitatem et inhabita terram et pasceris in divitiis eius
4 delectare in Domino et dabit tibi petitiones cordis tui
5 revela Domino viam tuam et spera in eum et ipse faciet
6 et educet quasi lumen iustitiam tuam et iudicium tuum tamquam meridiem
