Psalms 36:7-9

• 7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
• Therefore the children of men gput their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
• 8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
• And You give them drink from ithe river of Your pleasures.
• 9 For with You is the fountain of life;
• In Your light we see light.

• (1) God is happy;
• (2) religion makes man happy;
• (3) this happiness is of the same nature as God’s;
• (4) this happiness meets the need of the soul;
• (5) it leaves no soul need unsatisfied; and
• (6) this happiness is found especially connected with worship in God’s house. Compare PP 413.
