He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 36 of Psalms. Psalm 36 contrasts the depth of human wickedness with the immensity of divine mercy. The wicked live without fear of God and use their abilities to justify their own conduct, while the Lord’s steadfast love reaches the heavens. The image of taking refuge under divine wings is joined to that of drinking from the river of God’s delights. The contrast ends by asking that pride and violence not prevail.

Alle ihre Worte sind schädlich und erlogen; sie lassen sich auch nicht weisen, daß sie Gutes täten;
Iniquidad piensa sobre su cama; Está en camino no bueno, El mal no aborrece.
Trama maldad en su cama, se obstina en un camino que no es bueno y no rechaza el mal.
Il médite l'injustice sur sa couche, Il se tient sur une voie qui n'est pas bonne, Il ne repousse pas le mal.
Egli divisa iniquità sopra il suo letto; Egli si ferma nella via che non è buona, Egli non abborre il male
Projeta a malícia na sua cama; põe-se no caminho que não é bom; não aborrece o mal.
他在床上圖謀罪孽, 定意行不善的道,不憎惡惡事。
