PSALM 36 THOSE WHO DOES NOT REJECT EVIL
Transgression speaks to the wicked; deep in his heart;
there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;
he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4 He plots trouble while on his bed;
he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil.
5 Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O LORD. – Psalm 36:1-6

A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
Those who does not reject evil are serving the world
They do not fear the Lord nor heed his word
He thinks highly of himself and never cares for others
Greed and control are the way he operates and live for.
What comes out of his mouth are lies and deceit
He always schemes to get and receive
Those who do not reject evil serves the prince of this world
The wicked propagates selfishness and hates God’s word.
Stay away from those who take part in evil ways
They will experience the wrath of God and be shamed
Have nothing to do with them or condone their acts
They will not receive the crown of life from our Lord God.

REFLECTION
• How can one spot those who do not reject evil?
• How is discernment different from intelligence?
