Context of Psalms 36:6

4His mouth’s words are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and do good. 5Even on his bed he plans sin. He puts himself on a path that is no good, never refusing evil.” Your love, Adonai, is in the heavens, Your faithfulness up to the skies. 7Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like the great deep. You preserve man and beast, Adonai. 8How precious is Your love, O God! The children of men find refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
