Context of Psalms 36:6

4He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil. 5Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast. 7How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings. 8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
