Psalm 19

















In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun, 
which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy,
and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them;
and nothing is hidden from its heat.
The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the decrees of the Lord are sure,
making wise the simple;
the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is clear,
enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring for ever;
the ordinances of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.


There is much we do not know, plenty is mysterious, paradoxical.

But even more is clear enough, even crystal clear.

Kindness is better than conceit.

Forgiveness is better than revenge.

Love lasts long after disdain has died and hate has consumed itself.

Psalm 19
