24
You love everything that exists; you do not despise anything that you have made. If you had not liked it, you would not have made it in the first place.
25
How could anything last, if you did not want it to? How could it endure, if you had not created it?
26
You have allowed it all to exist, O Lord, because it is yours, and you love every living thing.
