And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did];

Awake isa 51

My strength is dried up like a fragment of clay pottery;
And my [dry] tongue clings to my jaws;

Will revive and renew me again,
And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

Thy dew

no shrub or plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground,

My speech distill as the dew,
As the light rain upon the tender grass,
And as the spring showers upon the herb.

And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
