Psalms 36:5 Context
3The words of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: he hath left off to bee wise, and to doe good. 4Hee deuiseth mischiefe vpon his bed, he setteth himselfe in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not euill. 5Thy mercie (O Lord) is in the heauens; and thy faithfulnesse reacheth vnto the cloudes. 6Thy righteousnesse is like the great mountaines; thy iudgements are a great deepe; O Lord, thou preseruest man and beast. 7How excellent is thy louing kindnesse, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.
