Answer 2

It is a psalm with elements of wisdom (Psalm 36:2-5), the hymn (Psalm 36:6-10), and the lament (Psalm 36:11-13). The rule of sin over the wicked (Psalm 36:2-5) is contrasted with the rule of divine love and mercy over God's friends (Psalm 36:6-10). The psalm ends with a prayer that God's guidance never cease (Psalm 36:11-12).
Peace and blessings!
