Where can I go O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger. from your spirit? Or discipline me in your wrath.

Where can I flee Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am faint. from your presence? O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony.

2.ANTITHETIC~Opposite thoughtThose who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, Will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.

3.SYNTHETIC~Added thoughtThe Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;

He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters.
