Extra Information | In this Psalm David concludes with: "But as for me, my contentment is not in wealth but in seeing you and knowing all is well between us. And when I awake in heaven, I will be fully satisfied, for I will see you face-to-face." That is the only real satisfaction. I could not get the MIDI voices to sound right, so I arranged it for instruments. The text is from The Living Bible -- a paraphrased Bible, not a translation. I prefer a translation, but I liked the wording in this Psalm. |
