Footnotes

  1. 12 Or “valuable.”
  2. 13 Heb “and the sons of man in the shadow of your wings find shelter.” The preservation of physical life is in view, as the next verse makes clear.
  3. 14 Heb “for with you is the fountain of life, in your light we see light.” Water (note “fountain”) and light are here metaphors for life.

For you are the fountain of life,

the light by which we see.

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!

Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house;

And thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

For with thee is the fountain of life:

In thy light shall we see light.
