Psalms 36:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 36:5

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.

6 Your righteousness is like the¹ great mountains;
^aYour judgments are a great deep;
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men ^aput their trust under the shadow of Your wings.

8 ^aThey are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from ^bthe river of Your pleasures.

9 ^aFor with You is the fountain of life;
^bIn Your light we see light.

10 Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
