While I live will I praise the LORD:
I will sing praises unto my God
while I have any being.
Psalm 146: 2
Except the LORD build the house,
they labour in vain that build it:
except the LORD keep the city,
the watchman waketh but in vain.
Psalm 127: 1
As I reprint verses from the Psalms, and proofread the posts, I learn more about the language arts.
For example, yesterday’s post:
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Psalm 126: 5
There is comfort, emotional and spiritual.
Then I also think, “What a beautiful sentence.”

and establish thou the work of our hands upon us;
yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee,
