My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
