⁵ Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.
⁶ Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains;
    your judgments are like the great deep;
    you save humans and animals alike, O Lord.^(A)

⁷ How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
    All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.^(B)
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
    and you give them drink from the river of your delights.^(C)
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light we see light.^(D)

¹⁰ O continue your steadfast love to those who know you
    and your salvation to the upright of heart!

¹⁹ I thought
    how I would set you among my children
and give you a pleasant land,
    the most beautiful heritage of all the nations.
And I thought you would call to me, “My Father,”
    and would not turn from following me.^(A)
20 Instead, as a faithless wife leaves her husband,
    so you have been faithless to me, O house of Israel,
            says the Lord.^(B)

²¹ A voice on the bare heights^[a] is heard,
    the plaintive weeping of Israel’s children,
because they have perverted their way;
    they have forgotten the Lord their God:^(C)
22 Return, O faithless children,
    I will heal your faithlessness.

“Here we come to you,
    for you are the Lord our God.^(D)
23 Truly the hills are^[b] a delusion,
    a tumult on the mountains.
Truly in the Lord our God
    is the salvation of Israel.^(E)
