Psalms 36:2 - Exposition

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful . Another very obscure verse, explained in various ways. The rendering of Professor Alexander is to be preferred, "For he fiattereth himself in his own eyes, as to God ' s finding his sin and hating it ;" i.e. he flatters himself that he will conceal his sin from God, so that God will not discover it to hate it (see also the comment of Dr. Kay, and the Revised Version)
