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

Verse 6 is found in chapter 36 of Psalms. Psalm 36 contrasts the depth of human wickedness with the immensity of divine mercy. The wicked live without fear of God and use their abilities to justify their own conduct, while the Lord’s steadfast love reaches the heavens. The image of taking refuge under divine wings is joined to that of drinking from the river of God’s delights. The contrast ends by asking that pride and violence not prevail.

HERR, deine Güte reicht, soweit der Himmel ist, und deine Wahrheit, soweit die Wolken gehen.
Tu justicia como los montes de Dios, Tus juicios abismo grande: Oh Jehová, al hombre y al animal conservas.

Ta justice est comme les montagnes de Dieu, Tes jugements sont comme le grand abîme. Eternel! tu soutiens les hommes et les bêtes.
La tua giustizia è simile a monti altissimi; I tuoi giudicii sono un grande abisso. O Signore, tu conservi uomini e bestie.
A tua justiça é como as grandes montanhas; os teus juízos são um grande abismo. SENHOR, tu conservas os homens e os animais.
你的公義好像高山, 你的判斷如同深淵; 耶和華啊,人民、牲畜,你都救護。
