How precious, O God, is your constant love! We find protection under the shadow of your wings.
Reflect

Reread verses 5‒9 which are a celebration of God's love for the whole world. How is God's love described in these verses? What verses do you find particularly meaningful? In what ways will you show your love for God today?
