Human loyalty will reach up from the earth, and God's righteousness will look down from heaven.

The desert will rejoice, and flowers will bloom in the wastelands.

The desert will sing and shout for joy; it will be as beautiful as the Lebanon Mountains and as fertile as the fields of Carmel and Sharon. Everyone will see the LORD's splendor, see his greatness and power.

My lover is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies

My lover is mine, and I am his; he feeds his flock among the lilies.

"I am the high and holy God, who lives forever. I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope.
