Ps 36:1-12.
英文原文
Ps 36:1-12.
On servant of the Lord, see on
Ps 18:1,
title. The wickedness of man contrasted with the excellency of God's perfections and dispensations; and the benefit of the latter sought, and the evils of the former deprecated.
1. The general sense of this difficult verse is, "that the wicked have no fear of God." The first clause may be rendered, "Saith transgression in my heart, in respect to the wicked, there is no fear," &c., that is, such is my reflection on men's transgressions.

2-4. 这反思在此详述。
直到他的罪孽(until his iniquity)——字面作“为要查出他的罪孽以憎恶”,即他自欺地以为神不会如此查出——“憎恶”含有惩罚之意。因此他说罪孽与诡诈的话,并大胆抛弃一切正当的行为准则。其登峰造极之处,在于他蓄意采纳并袒护恶事。否定式在此反而更强调地肯定了其反面。
英文原文
2-4. This reflection detailed.
until his iniquity--literally, "for finding his iniquity for hating"; that is, he persuades himself God will not so find it--"for hating" involving the idea of punishing. Hence his words of iniquity and deceit, and his bold rejection of all right principles of conduct. The climax is that he deliberately adopts and patronizes evil. The negative forms affirm more emphatically their contraries.
