Priestly Lovers

⁴And your priestly lovers, those you’ve chosen,
Will be greatly favored to be brought close to you.
What inexpressible joys are theirs!
What feasts of mercy fill them in your heavenly sanctuary!
How satisfied we will be just to be near you!
⁵ You answer our prayers with amazing wonders,
And with awe-inspiring displays of power.
You are the righteous God,
Who helps us like a Father.
Everyone everywhere looks to you,
For you are the Confidence of all the earth,
Even to the farthest islands of the sea.
⁶What jaw-dropping, astounding power is yours!
You are the Mountain-Maker, who sets them all in place.
⁷You muzzle the roar of the mighty seas,
And the rage of mobs with their noisy riots.
⁸O God, to the farthest corners of the planet
People will stand in awe, startled and stunned
By your signs and wonders.
Sunrise brilliance and sunset beauty
Both take turns singing their songs of joy to you.
Psalm 65:4-8 The Passion Translation
