nd the children of men shall put their trust under the shadow of
Thy wings_. _They shall be satisfied with the plenteousness of Thy
house_: _and Thou shalt give them drink of Thy pleasures_, _as out of the
river_. _For with Thee is the well of life_: _and in Thy light shall we
see light_. _Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest_, _and receivest unto
Thee_: _he shall dwell in Thy court_, _and shall be satisfied with the
pleasures of Thy house_, _even of Thy holy temple_. _Blessed is the
people_, _O Lord_, _that can rejoice in Thee_: _they shall walk in the
light of Thy countenance_. _Their delight shall be daily in Thy name_,
_and in Thy righteousness shall they make their boast_. _For Thou art
the glory of their strength_: _and in Thy lovingkindness they shall be
exalted_. _As for me_, _I will behold Thy presence in righteousness_:
_and when I awake up after Thy likeness_, _I shall be satisfied with it_.
_Thou shalt shew me the path of life_; _in Thy presence is the fulness of
joy_, _and at Thy right hand there is pleasure for evermore_.
