Psalm 36

How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
All people may 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 we see light.


Each morning I read a meditation and each of the psalms assigned for the day.

I choose a few verses for special attention based on my emotional response.

This morning I read five psalms with no discernible reaction, nothing captured me.

I read each again. The first was full of self-assured righteousness.

The second asked God to punish the wicked.

The third sought protection from the wicked.

The fourth asked God to remove his eye of judgment.

The fifth was a song of praise to King David.

The passage above -- from the third reading -- still does elicit much response.

Surely, it should.

Psalm 36
