20
We wake up and rub our eyes. . . . Nothing. There's nothing to them. And there never was.
21
When I was beleaguered and bitter, totally consumed by envy,
22
I was totally ignorant, a dumb ox in your very presence.
23
I'm still in your presence, but you've taken my hand.
24
You wisely and tenderly lead me, and then you bless me.
25
You're all I want in heaven! You're all I want on earth!
26
When my skin sags and my bones get brittle, God is rock-firm and faithful.
27
Look! Those who left you are falling apart! Deserters, they'll never be heard from again.
28
But I'm in the very presence of God - oh, how refreshing it is! I've made Lord God my home. God, I'm telling the world what you do!
