Introduction
The miserable state of the wicked, Psalm 36:1-4 . The excellence of God's mercy in itself, and to his followers, Psalm 36:5-9 . He prays for the upright, Psalm 36:10 ; for himself that he may be saved from pride and violence, Psalm 36:11 ; and shows the end of the workers of iniquity, Psalm 36:12 .
The title in the Hebrew is, To the conqueror to the servant of Jehovah, to David. The Syriac and Arabic suppose it to have been composed on occasion of Saul's persecution of David. Calmet supposes, on good grounds, that it was written during the Babylonish captivity. It is one of the finest Psalms in the whole collection.
