12. Once more I will set forth my themeto shine like the moon in its fullness!
13. Listen to me, my faithful children: open up your petals,like roses planted near running waters;
14. Send up the sweet odor of incense,break forth in blossoms like the lily.Raise your voices in a chorus of praise;bless the Lord for all his works!
15. Proclaim the greatness of his name,loudly sing his praises,With music on the harp and all stringed instruments;sing out with joy as you proclaim:
16. The works of God are all of them good;he supplies for every need in its own time.
17. At his word the waters become still as in a flask;he had but to speak and the reservoirs were made.
