You shall arise, and have compassion upon Zion; for it is time to be gracious to her, for the appointedtime has come. - Psalms 102:14
Deep inside my heart I've got this everlasting light
It's shining like the sun, it radiates on everyone
And the more that I give, the more I've got to give
It's the way that I live, it's what I'm living for.

Let the loving couple be very happy, just as you made your creation happy in the garden of eden, so long ago.
טוב להודות לה' ולזמר לשמך עליון
