O God, you take pleasure in your people;
you adorn the humble with victory.
Except two tablets of stone
(covenant reminders),
nothing in the ark;
except a linen cloth
(lost as he ran away),
nothing on the young man;
except to listen for salvation,
nothing necessary.
you adorn the humble with victory.
Except two tablets of stone
(covenant reminders),
nothing in the ark;
except a linen cloth
(lost as he ran away),
nothing on the young man;
except to listen for salvation,
nothing necessary.
