A Psalm

My soul thirsts for You
My heart longs to feel your presence

I delight myself in you
grant me the desires of my heart
I have committed my ways You
So let my righteousness shine like the dawn and the justice of my cause like the noonday sun.
Let all who see me know that You are with me
May they tremble in fear because You go before me in all that I do

The enemy shoots me with worries and fears
but I will wait upon you O Lord and trust in your ways.

Though my ways are thwarted and the paths of my life thrown into disarray
You O Lord knit them together
In You O Lord I find my life
For your love is better than life
You satisfy me beyond my understanding

Proclaim your glory and power through your servant
Exalt him from his humbled state.
For He wishes to please You
and wants to dwell in Your house
He cries out from the pain caused by our enemies
In his weakness he calls to You for healing

Do not forsake me O Lord in my time of need
Do not put your servant to shame
Though I am surrounded on all sides
and the strength sapped from my body
Let me not fall to evil.
Let me instead say
"Praise be to the Father for He is good"

Amen
