Context of Psalms 36:8

6Your justice is like the strongest mountains. You always do what is right, more than the seas are deep. You take care of people and animals and you keep them safe. 7God, your faithful love has great value! You keep all humans safe, like birds protect their babies under their wings. You have plenty of food in your house, to give them all that they need. You give them water from your river, that makes them happy when they drink it. 9Yes, you are the one who gives us light and life. 10Continue to love those who serve you as your people. Let good, honest people receive your justice.
