Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forward and forever more.

Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Nature seemed to me benign and good; I thought she loved me, outcast as I was; and I, who from man could anticipate only mistrust, rejection, insult, clung to her with filial fondness.

Everything was strange and silent and she seemed to be hundreds of miles away from anyone, but somehow she did not feel lonely at all.

There, too, after a fit of temper, I went to find comfort and to hide my hot face in the cool leaves and grass.

What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more, to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes, or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness!

Let my soul become enlarged; I am not enough; I am little and contemptible.

Great distance in either time or space has wonderful power to lull and render quiescent the human mind.

At first sight there is something surprising in this strange unrest of so many happy men, restless in the midst of abundance.
