26 That your children whom you loved might learn, O Lord,that it is not the various kinds of fruits that nourish,but your word that preserves those who believe you!
27 For what was not destroyed by fire,melted when merely warmed by a momentary sunbeam;
28 To make known that one must give you thanks before sunrise,and turn to you at daybreak.
29 For the hope of the ungrateful melts like a wintry frostand runs off like useless water.
