36:1 (耶和華的僕人大衛的詩,交與伶長。)惡人的罪過在他心裡說:我眼中不怕上帝!
36:2 他自誇自媚,以為他的罪孽終不顯露,不被恨惡。
36:3 他口中的言語盡是罪孽詭詐;他與智慧善行已經斷絕。
36:4 他在床上圖謀罪孽,定意行不善的道,不憎惡惡事。
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.
1 I have a message from God in my heart
concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:
There is no fear of God
before their eyes.
2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves
too much to detect or hate their sin.
3 The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful;
they fail to act wisely or do good.
4 Even on their beds they plot evil;
they commit themselves to a sinful course
and do not reject what is wrong.

詩人在這裡將惡人的心態說明出來,就是心中藏著「我眼中不怕上帝」!
也因為不怕上帝,也就不敬畏上帝,也因此就肆無忌憚,雖心所欲的去行,將心中的罪性表現在罪行!正如主耶穌所說的,「毒蛇的種類!你們既是惡人,怎能說出好話來呢?因為心裡所充滿的,口裡就說出來。」(馬太福音12:34)
不僅口說,更是有行動!即使掩飾得再好,上帝還是會讓心中靈明感受得到,所以詩人會如此寫下來!
因此,人要得重生必須從內心先被聖靈更新,要心中先有敬畏上帝的心,才能從惡人改變為義人!這是上帝透過聖靈的工作,不是人自己可以做到的!必須透過聖靈將基督完成的救恩應用與實現在我們身上,也就是石心(悖逆)變肉心(順服)!
