Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;

your judgments are like the great deep;

man and beast you save, O Lord.

You feed them from the abundance of your own house,

letting them drink from your river of delights.

For you are the fountain of life,

the light by which we see.

For with you is the fountain of life;

in your light we see light.
