To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the Servant of the LORD. Psalms 36:1-4

John Nunnikhoven

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the Servant of the LORD. An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flatters himself in his own eyes, When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates. The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. He devises wickedness on his bed; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not abhor evil.

Two key phrases. “There is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flatters himself in his own eyes,” wrap up the state of mind of the wicked. All the rest of this paragraph is merely details.

Reading

Morning Psalm 19, Noon Psalm 119:137-144, Evening Psalm 108

Alternate Reading Plan based on 7 chapters/day from 7 sections of the Scriptures.

Genesis 3, Judges 3, Job 3, Psalm 3, Isaiah 3, Matthew 3, Romans 3.

I suggest either setting aside a period of the day to read all seven, or break the readings up into morning, mid-day, and evening series. Both approaches have their advantages, and both will build an awareness of the Bible as a whole over time
