📚 Historical Context
Psalms 36 is attributed to King David, who often wrote psalms as heartfelt prayers and praises during times of personal or national crisis in ancient Israel. In this psalm, David highlights the contrast between the wickedness of evildoers and God's unwavering faithfulness, likely drawing from his own experiences of conflict and reliance on divine protection. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's covenant loyalty to His people amidst a world of moral challenges.
