Psalm 36:4

4 They make evil plans as they lie in bed; nothing they do is good, and they never reject anything evil.

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 Because they think so highly of themselves, they think that God will not discover their sin and condemn it.

3 Their speech is wicked and full of lies; they no longer do what is wise and good.

4 They make evil plans as they lie in bed; nothing they do is good, and they never reject anything evil.

5 Lord, your constant love reaches the heavens; your faithfulness extends to the skies.

6 Your righteousness is towering like the mountains; your justice is like the depths of the sea. People and animals are in your care.
