Psalms 36 — Context

An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: "There is no fear of God before his eyes."

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.
