Psalms 36 — Context

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.

O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.
