Your Love, Oh Lord…

I’ve been doing a bit of reading in Psalms today, and particularly enjoyed this portion of Psalm 36. Perhaps its simply because I love the Third Day song derived from verses 5 and 6, or perhaps it’s simply that I needed to meditate a bit on the love of God. Whatever the case… it speaks powerfully.

Psalm 36:5-10
⁵Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens,
     your faithfulness to the skies.

⁶Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
     your justice like the great deep.
     O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.

⁷How priceless is your unfailing love!
     Both high and low among men
     find refuge in the shadow of your wings.

⁸They feast on the abundance of your house;
     you give them drink from your river of delights.

⁹For with you is the fountain of life;
     in your light we see light.

¹⁰Continue your love to those who know you,
     your righteousness to the upright in heart.
