Texts -- Psalms 36:1-8 (NET)

Context
Psalm 36
36:1 For the music director ; written by the Lord’s servant , David ; an oracle . An evil man is rebellious to the core . He does not fear God , 36:2 for he is too proud to recognize and give up his sin . 36:3 The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful ; he does not care about doing what is wise and right . 36:4 He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed ; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle ; he does not reject what is evil . 36:5 O Lord , your loyal love reaches to the sky ; your faithfulness to the clouds . 36:6 Your justice is like the highest mountains , your fairness like the deepest sea ; you preserve mankind and the animal kingdom . 36:7 How precious is your loyal love , O God ! The human race finds shelter under your wings . 36:8 They are filled with food from your house , and you allow them to drink from the river of your delicacies .
