[ Read](/kjv/psalms/36)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/36)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/36) Audio

 1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, *that there is* no fear of God before his eyes.

 2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.*

 3 The words of his mouth *are* iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, *and* to do good.

 4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way *that is* not good; he abhorreth not evil.*

 5 Thy mercy, O LORD, *is* in the heavens; *and* thy faithfulness *reacheth* unto the clouds.

 6 Thy righteousness *is* like the great mountains; thy judgments *are* a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.*

 7 How excellent *is* thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.*

 8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.*

 9 For with thee *is* the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

 10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.*

 11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

 12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
 
[Psalms 35](/study/psalms/35) [Psalms 37](/study/psalms/37)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
**Title, of David** = by David. 

**the servant of the Lord.** In the Hebrew text these two words are reversed, and the title stands thus: "Relating to Jehovah's servant, by David ". This is exactly what it is. His prayer and praise in view of [Psalms 22:0](/kjv/psalms/22/0) (see p. 721, and [Isaiah 42:1](/kjv/isaiah/42/1) , &c), in death and resurrection. [Psalms 18:0](/kjv/psalms/18/0) is the only other Psalm so entitled. 

**transgression** = rebellion. Hebrew *pasha'* . App-44 . 

**the wicked** = a lawless one. Hebrew *rasha'.* App-44 . 

**saith** : declareth, as an oracle. Hebrew *na'am.* Compare [Jeremiah 23:31](/kjv/jeremiah/23/31) = declareth. Figure of speech *Prosopopoeia.* App-6 . 

**within my heart** = within me; "my heart" being put by Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of the Part), App-6 , for the whole person: i.e. assureth or convinceth me that, &c. Not seeing the Figure of speech, or the force of the Hebrew *na'am,* many follow the hypothesis of the Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, and read "his heart". 

**there is, &c.** Quoted in [Romans 3:18](/kjv/romans/3/18) . 

**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 . His relation, as Creator, to His creatures. This lawless one knows not Jehovah; and fears not Elohim. 

**his eyes.** Answering to "his heart" in preceding clause.
