Geneva Bible Notes (1560)Psalm 36

^{1 a} I se euidently by his dedes, that sinne pusheth forward the reprobat from wickednes to wickednes, albeit he go about to couer his impietie.

^{2 !} The Prophet grieuously vexed by the wicked, doeth complaine of their malicious wickednes.

^{2 b} Thogh all other detest his vile sinne, yet he himself seeth it not.

^{3 c} The reprobat mocke at holsome doctrine and put not difference bewtene good and euil.

^{4 d} By describing at large the nature of the reprobat, he admonisheth the godlie to beware of these vices.

^{5 e} Thogh wickednes semeth to ouerfloe all the worlde, yet by thine heauenlie prouidence thou gouernest heauen & earth.

^{6 !} Then he turneth to consider the vnspeakable goodnes of God towards all creatures:

^{6 f} The depth of thy prouidence gouerneth all things, and disposeth them, albeit, the wicked seme to ouerwhelme the worlde.

^{6 /} Ebr. the mountains of God: for whatsoeuers is excellent, is thus called.

^{8 g} Onely Gods children haue ynough of all things both concerning this life & the life to come.

^{9 !} But specially towards his children that by the faith thereof he maie be comforted & assured of his deliuerance by this ordinairie course of Gods worke,

^{10 h} He sheweth who are Gods children, to wit, they that know him, and lead their liues vprightly.

^{11 i} Let not the proude aduance him self against me, nether the power of the wicked driue me away.

^{12 k} That is, in their pride wherein they flatter them selues.

^{13 !} Who in the end destroyeth the wicked & saueth the juste.
