And my mouth spoke in my distress. ... What did his mouth say in his distress? I shall offer a marrowed holocaust. What does "marrowed" mean? That I want to hold my love for you deep within me. It wont be on the surface. That I love you will be in my marrow. Nothing is more inward than our marrow. Our bones are more inward than our flesh, but marrow is more inward even than bones. Someone who worships God only on the surface is more interested in pleasing other people. Having something else within, he does not offer a holocaust of marrow. But when God sees a persons marrow, he accepts him whole and entire. (Augustine, En in Ps 65, 20; PL 36, 799)
