Psalms 36:8

ContentmentJoyGod's presence

6 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!

They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.

9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

10 Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
