my feet had almost slipped.

their bodies are strong;
they wear pride
like a crown.

but it troubled me deeply
until I entered Your sanctuary.

their final destiny;
You set them
on slippery ground.

Yet I am always
with You;
You hold me
by my right hand.

in heaven but You?
And on earth
I desire nothing besides You.
