Man’s Wickedness and God’s Perfections

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.

1 An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:
aThere is no fear of God before his eyes. 
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
aHe has ceased to be wise and to do good. 
4 aHe devises wickedness on his bed;
He sets himself bin a way that is not good;
He does not1 abhor cevil. 
5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Psalms 36:2-4

This reflection detailed.

until his iniquity—literally, "for finding his iniquity for hating"; that is, he persuades himself God will not so find it—"for hating" involving the idea of punishing. Hence his words of iniquity and deceit, and his bold rejection of all right principles of conduct. The climax is that he deliberately adopts and patronizes evil. The negative forms affirm more emphatically their contraries.
