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.

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
