6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like a great deep. O Lord, You preserve man and beast. 7How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. 9For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. 10O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
