89:48 No man can live on without experiencing death,
or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. 1 (Selah)
103:11 For as the skies are high above the earth,
so his loyal love towers 2 over his faithful followers. 3
117:2 For his loyal love towers 4 over us,
and the Lord’s faithfulness endures.
Praise the Lord!
