King David is surrounded by enemies and helpless, and prays for God's help.
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?
LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Velen zeggen: ‘Wie maakt ons gelukkig?’ –
HEER, laat het licht van uw gelaat over ons schijnen.
In u vindt in mijn hart meer vreugde
dan zij in hun koren en wijn.
In vrede leg ik mij neer
en meteen slaap ik in,
want u, HEER, laat mij wonen
in een vertrouwd en veilig huis.

Oh, a lovely picture of help and protection.
Beautiful! Wonderful post, my friend...
You met the challenge, Wil. Your photo and the Psalm are perfect together.
I like the photo you used to illustrate this Psalm. Very appropriate.
A lovely pairing.
How did you convince that beautiful little bird to sit in you hand? A wonderful illustration of trust!
Great picture!! Just lovely:-)
It must be of great joy being able to share life, safety that close to nature. Never lived by me so far. Thank you for your participation, which suits very good the words. Please have a wonderful new week and join again soon.
