“He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. mischief: or, vanity”
Psalms 36:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 36:4
Plotting evil 'upon his bed' reveals premeditation—the wicked use rest times for scheming rather than reflection or prayer. 'He setteth himself in a way that is not good' indicates deliberate choice and persistence in evil direction. The climax 'he abhorreth not evil' shows complete moral inversion—not merely doing wrong but losing revulsion toward it. This describes total depravity where conscience is seared (1 Timothy 4:2) and evil becomes normalized.
