“The days of a mortal are as grass; he blossoms like a wild flower in the meadow: a wind passes over him, and he is gone, and his place knows him no more. But the LORD’s love is for ever on those who fear Him, and His righteousness on their posterity, on those who hold fast to His covenant, who keeps His commandments in mind.” – Psalms 103:15-18, The Revised English Bible.

“One is notorious in being like him that brings up axes on high against the thicket of trees.... They have thrust Your sanctuary into the fire itself..... Take a look at the covenant, for the dark places of the earth have become full of the abodes of violence.... Do arise, O GOD, do conduct Your own case at law. Remember Your reproach from the senseless one all day long.” – Psalms 74:5, 7, 20 and 22, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.
