"Plucking the seventh string of his harp, David cried out, saying, 'The mountain of God, the mountain enriched; the mountain congealed, the mountain enriched.'"

You’re The True Shepherd (English & Arabic) — St Mark DC

Lyrics:
(I was hungry many times
My nature desired food
But I stopped and did not eat
To become worthy of the 
Blessing reserved for those who fast) x2

My muddy nature 
demands a splash of water
but I let it dry out
so that it is washed
by the dew of Paradise

(I was hungry many times
My nature desired food
But I stopped and did not eat
To become worthy of the 
Blessing reserved for those who fast) x2

My mind became an altar
And my will became a priest
And like a pure lamb 
I slaughtered myself
And offered sacrifice

(I was hungry many times
My nature desired food
But I stopped and did not eat
To become worthy of the 
Blessing reserved for those who fast) x2

Barfa3 Esm Elahee (ﺑﺎرﻓﻊ اﺳم اﻟﮭﻰ) — LA x St Mark DC (Kenya 2025)

clarification regarding verse 11: The main idea is that God doesn’t punish for the sake of punishment because He is angry. He says "I have no pleasure in the death of a sinner" (Ezekiel 18:23). God is actively working. He is not passive. God intervenes and punishes in order to end evil or to prevent it from spreading, after a long period of patience. God's anger (aka wrath) is against the sin and the death hurting His creation. Punishment and consequence carry different connotations but are, in a way, two sides of the same coin. The important thing to remember though is that a consequence or punishment coming from God is meant to push us towards repentance and salvation.
