Context of Psalms 36:6

4He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. 5Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies. Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. 7How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings. 8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
