This psalm contrast the character of the wicked- 36:1-4- with the character of God- 36:5-9
36:1 Transgression speaks- These two words are put together this way only here in the Bible. The word "speaks" is often translated "oracle" and refers to an oracle from the LORD.
Here it is transgression or rebellion that is giving this oracle.
"There is no fear of God before his eyes" Romans 3:18 quotes this.
36:4 The wicked man plans evil upon his bed. Compare Micah 2:1-2 and Proverbs 4:16. Contrast this to Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
36:5-9 God's character is said to be lovingkindness, faithfulness, righteousness, and judgments. These attributes of God are without limitations.
How does Jesus fulfill these words?
