It is the voice of complete assent, the joy of freedom, a cry of happiness, the echo of gladness. It soothes the temper, distracts from care, lightens the burden of sorrow. It is a source of security at night, a lesson in wisdom by day. It is a shield when we are afraid, a celebration of holiness, a vision of serenity, a promise of peace and harmony. It is like a lyre, evoking harmony from a blend of notes.
Day begins to the music of a psalm.
Day close to the echo of a psalm. In a psalm instruction vies with beauty. We sing for pleasure. We learn for profit. A song for the beloved, and I am aflame with the desire for God's love.
