Psalms 36:1-12
David <01732> [A.M. cir. 3463. B.C. cir. 541. (Title.) A psalm.]
This Psalm is supposed by some to have been composed by David at the beginning of Saul's persecutions; but Calmet and others, on good grounds, are of opinion that it was written during the Babylonian captivity.
servant <05650> [servant.]
rebellious <06588> [The transgression.]
Or, rather, "The speech of transgression to the wicked is within his heart: there is no fear of God before his eyes;" for instead of {libbi,} "my heart," four MSS., have {libbo,} "his heart," which is also the reading of the LXX., Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopic, and Anglo-Saxon.

drink <08248> [and thou.]
delicacies <05730> [thy pleasures.]
Or, {adanacha,} "thy pleasure," as four MSS., read; in which there is probably a reference to the garden of Eden, and the river that ran through, and watered it.
