Salmos 36:1-4
Ps 36 This lament contrasts the world of folly devised by the wicked with the world of wisdom created and sustained by the Lord. The wicked care only about themselves, whereas the Lord cares for all of creation. He will intervene to bring about justice in his world. The righteous will enjoy his protection, but the wicked will perish. 36:1-4 Fools despise what is wise and good as they pursue evil. 36:1 no fear of God: Paul includes this phrase in his description of the depravity of all people (Rom 3:18).
Salmos 36:5
36:5-9 As the source of wisdom, the Lord is reliable and incomparable. His faithful care extends to all parts of the created order. 36:5-6 God’s all-encompassing goodness surpasses that of the created order. God graciously meets his people’s practical needs.
Salmos 36:6
36:6-9 All creatures live by God’s grace (1 Tim 4:10).
Salmos 36:7-8
36:7-8 God invites all humanity to the banquet in his house (cp. Prov 9:1-6).
Salmos 36:9
36:9 Light represents salvation and celebration (18:25-29; 27:1; cp. 35:6).
Salmos 36:10-11
36:10-11 Since God’s wisdom extends to all of creation, it protects the godly.
Salmos 36:12
36:12 The psalmist remains confident that the disorder caused by the wicked (36:1-4) will end when they meet their demise.
