Psalms 36:5-7 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

What a beautiful transition the Psalmist here hath made from the corruption of men, to contemplate the mercy and faithfulness of God? How beautiful also the highly finished comparisons here made of God's righteousness, and judgments?

Psalms 36:5-7

5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

7 How excellentb is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
