Psalms 36:7 (KJ21)
How excellent is Thy lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Thy wings.

Psalms 36:7 (NAS)
How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.

Psalms 36:7 (NIVUS)
How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.

Psalms 36:7 (NLT)
How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.

In today's world, there are not many things that could be considered excellent. Workmanship is often sub-standard and attitudes are bad. People have gotten used to less and do not strive for more. However, for those of us who are Christians, there is a better way.

You serve an excellent God, who has an honorable reputation. One of the most valuable and precious attributes of Adonai, the Most High God, is His kindness and favor that He freely gives you. The goodness and mercy that you receive is very costly; it is only through the shed blood of Yeshua, the Son of God, that God's lovingkindness is available to you.

As a Son of God, a member of His family, you have discovered that you can take refuge in Adonai. You can always flee to Him for protection. When you confide in and put your trust in the Almighty, you have hope and confidence. In Him you are secure and your footsteps are sure. You are concealed in the shadow of Adonai's wings, which He spreads over you. His presence hovers over you, for He cares deeply for you.
