what God does for those who know Him

"Thy lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
Thy faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Thy judgements are like a great deep.
O Lord, Thou preservest man and beast.

How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

They drink their fill of the abundance of Thy house;
And Thou dost give them to drink of the river of Thy delights.

For with Thee is the fountain of life;
In Thy light we see light.

O continue Thy lovingkindness to those who know Thee,
And Thy righteousness to the upright in heart."
Psalm 36: 5~10

Beside this passage in my Bible
I had written the word "awesome" with an exclamation point.
Meditate on the truth that is contained in these verses.
God's care for His children is beyond knowing.
Without Him we couldn't take our next breath.

A hidden nugget:
"With God is the fountain of life."
Did you know that?

Another:
"He gives us to drink of the river of His delights."
Can you just imagine what this means to us?

I am overwhelmed with this passage.
