Psalm Ps. 36. This is a lament that reflects on the wicked and on the steadfast love of the Lord. It concludes with a prayer that God will protect his people from the attacks of the wicked.
Ps. 36:1–4 The wicked person has no fear of God before his eyes (see Rom. 3:18). He does evil and plans evil. He particularly schemes to bring trouble to others, especially the godly.
Ps. 36:5–9 The pairing of God’s steadfast love and faithfulness recalls Ex. 34:6, describing God’s kindness. Righteousness and judgments express God’s enduring commitment to act kindly toward his creatures and to save them. In view of this, people can take refuge under his wings and can be welcome guests at his table.
Ps. 36:9 The fountain of life refreshes and sustains life; see Prov. 10:11; 13:14. To see light means to experience life (e.g., Job 33:28; Ps. 49:19).
Ps. 36:10–12 The psalm ends with an appeal to God’s reliable love for his faithful ones (those who know you, that is, the upright of heart).
