“For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.”
The psalmist describes how the wicked flatter themselves in their eyes, unable to recognize their own guilt or abhor their wickedness. The phrase 'flatter themselves in their eyes' suggests self-deception and the refusal to see reality clearly. The verse portrays the wicked as trapped in delusion, incapable of perceiving their own moral condition. This diagnosis establishes that wickedness involves not merely external transgression but internal blindness to one's own guilt.
