Psalm 36:3

3 Todo lo que dicen es retorcido y engañoso;
se niegan a actuar con sabiduría o a hacer el bien.

Psalm 36:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 36:3

The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit
Not only sinful, but sin itself; his mouth is full of cursing and bitterness, of filthy and unchaste words, of corrupt communication, lying, deceit, and flattery; out of the abundance of the wickedness of his heart his mouth speaketh; and which shows the badness of it, and proves all that is said before of him;

he hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good;
by which the psalmist seems to intend one that had been a professor of religion, who, besides the light of nature he had acted contrary to, had had the advantage of a divine revelation, and had been enlightened into the knowledge of divine things, and had done many things externally good, particularly acts of beneficence; but now had dropped his profession of religion, denied the truths he had been enlightened into, and ceased from doing good; otherwise a natural man understandeth not; and, though he is wise to do evil, to do good he has no knowledge.

Psalm 36:3 In-Context

1 Salmo 36
Para el director del coro: salmo de David, el siervo del Señor
.
A los malvados el pecado les susurra en lo profundo del corazón;
no tienen temor de Dios en absoluto.

2 Ciegos de presunción,
no pueden ver lo perversos que son en realidad.

3 Todo lo que dicen es retorcido y engañoso;
se niegan a actuar con sabiduría o a hacer el bien.

4 Se quedan despiertos por la noche tramando planes pecaminosos;
sus acciones nunca son buenas;
no hacen ningún intento por alejarse del mal.

5 Tu amor inagotable, oh Señor
, es tan inmenso como los cielos;
tu fidelidad sobrepasa las nubes.
