Psalm 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.

Psalm 36:4 In-Context

2 Denn es schmeichelt ihm in seinen eigenen Augen, seine Ungerechtigkeit zu erreichen, Haß auszuüben.
3 Frevel und Trug sind die Worte seines Mundes; er hat es aufgegeben, verständig zu sein, Gutes zu tun.
4 Frevel ersinnt er auf seinem Lager; er stellt sich auf einen Weg, der nicht gut ist; das Böse verabscheut er nicht.
5 Jehova! An die Himmel reicht deine Güte, bis zu den Wolken deine Treue.
6 Deine Gerechtigkeit ist gleich Bergen Gottes, deine Gerichte sind eine große Tiefe; Menschen und Vieh rettest du, Jehova.
