Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast You save, O LORD. How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your delights. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light. Oh, continue Your steadfast love to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright of heart! Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise.
Your steadfast love sustains me in spite of me. You see me in the perfection that I will become, and You superintend the process of perfecting me. As I fail, I turn to the shadow of Your wings and the abundance of Your house; I drink from the river of Your delights. “Delight in the Lord and He will satisfy the desires of your heart.” What a promise! I know You do not forsake me, but do not let me forsake You. In Your presence is joy forever more.
