Homilies on Psalm 36, Homilia I · §3

Dwell in the land; delight in the Lord

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and feed on its faithfulness. The “land” is the hearer’s heart — till the soul’s field. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; he will bring forth your righteousness as the light. Glory to Christ. Amen.

Latin

Spera in Domino et fac bonitatem; inhabita terram et pasceris in divitiis eius. Terra haec — cor auditoris, agri animae. Delectare in Domino, et dabit tibi petitiones cordis tui. Revela Domino viam tuam et spera in eum. Educet sicut lumen iustitiam tuam. Gloria Christo. Amen.
