With minds on me and life-breath resting in me, awakening one another and constantly speaking of me — they are content and they rejoice.

Original plain-language translation

Devotion is portrayed as shared life: mutual awakening through continual talk of God. Contentment and delight are its inward marks. Fellowship completes the private disciplines of earlier chapters.
