Rest in the beautiful and reassuring words of Psalm 36, read from the King James Version and accompanied by the gentle sound of ocean waves.

Psalm 36 begins with a sober reflection on the way of wickedness, but it soon lifts the heart toward the greatness of God’s mercy, faithfulness, righteousness, and lovingkindness. David declares, “Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.”

In this episode of Psalms and Tides, the steady rhythm of the sea creates a peaceful space for Scripture, prayer, reflection, and rest. As you listen, may Psalm 36 remind you that the Lord is a refuge for those who trust in Him, that His lovingkindness is precious, and that with Him is the fountain of life.

Whether you are settling down for sleep, pausing for quiet devotion, or seeking comfort in the goodness of God’s Word, may this gentle reading help your heart rest beneath the shadow of His wings.

Psalm 36, King James Version.
