Oh, how great [is] Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, [Which] You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!

How precious [is] Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.

For You, Lord, [are] good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

But You, O Lord, [are] a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness.

I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD [And] the praises of the LORD, According to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, And the great goodness toward the house of Israel, Which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies, According to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.

Look down from heaven, And see from Your habitation, holy and glorious. Where [are] Your zeal and Your strength, The yearning of Your heart and Your mercies toward me? Are they restrained?

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

may be able to comprehend with all the saints what [is] the width and length and depth and height --

to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

"Who [is] like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who [is] like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth.

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.

My beloved [is] white and ruddy, Chief among ten thousand.

Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will see the land that is very far off.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!"

Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!" And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.

The LORD has sworn by His right hand And by the arm of His strength: "Surely I will no longer give your grain [As] food for your enemies; And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine, For which you have labored.

But those who have gathered it shall eat it, And praise the LORD; Those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts."

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, My servants shall eat, But you shall be hungry; Behold, My servants shall drink, But you shall be thirsty; Behold, My servants shall rejoice, But you shall be ashamed;

Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, But you shall cry for sorrow of heart, And wail for grief of spirit.

" It shall come to pass in that day [That] I will answer," says the LORD; "I will answer the heavens, And they shall answer the earth.

The earth shall answer With grain, With new wine, And with oil; They shall answer Jezreel.

You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.

And it will come to pass in that day [That] the mountains shall drip with new wine, The hills shall flow with milk, And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water; A fountain shall flow from the house of the LORD And water the Valley of Acacias.

" Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD, "That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the LORD.

"In that day the fair virgins And strong young men Shall faint from thirst.

" Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow [with it.]

I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit [them;] They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

And the roof of your mouth like the best wine. THE SHULAMITE [The wine] goes [down] smoothly for my beloved, Moving gently the lips of sleepers.
