"How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings."
He holds me in the palm of His hand; His strength overwhelms me.
In the surety of His love I find peace.
I will make my home where the scent of His presence wafts in on sweetened winds;
I will sing praise in the beauty of my Lord.
"They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures."
Like an orchard heavy-laden in the harvest,
Like the heady draughts of autumn air and fresh-pressed cider,
Like the dazzling rich and deep-hued falling leaves,
His love drips down abundance and my heart responds with fruit.
"For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light."
All seeming light apart from Him is dimming darkness;
All seeming life apart from Him is death.
My love, in You the air is clear, the sun is bright, no lies obscure my sight -
In You my dying heart is made anew and learns to walk in life.
