In the light of the king’s face ¹  there is life, and his favor is like the clouds ²  of the spring rain. ³ 

Who are these who float along ¹  like a cloud, who fly like doves to their shelters? ² 

I remove the guilt of your rebellious deeds as if they were a cloud, the guilt of your sins as if they were a cloud. ¹  Come back to me, for I protect ²  you.”

For this is what the Lord has told me: “I will wait ¹  and watch from my place, like scorching heat produced by the sunlight, ²  like a cloud of mist ³  in the heat ⁴  of harvest.” ⁵
