Psalms 36:6
4 Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.
5 Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7 How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!
8 They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
