My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.
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. - For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
