Frequently Asked Questions

What does Psalm 36 contrast?
Psalm 36 contrasts the wickedness of those with 'no fear of God before his eyes' (v.1) with the vastness of God's mercy and faithfulness, which 'reacheth unto the clouds' (v.5), before asking God to protect from the proud and wicked (vv.11-12).
What does verse 9 mean by 'in thy light shall we see light'?
It calls God the source of both life and understanding -- 'For with thee is the fountain of life' -- language later echoed in Jesus's claim to be 'the light of the world' in John 8:12.
How does the psalm describe the wicked person's mindset?
Verse 2 says he 'flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful,' describing self-deception rather than open defiance.
