Psalm 35
"Then I will rejoice in the Lord.
I will be glad because he rescues me.
With every bone in my body I will praise him:
“Lord, who can compare with you?
Who else rescues the helpless from the strong?
Who else protects the helpless and poor from those who rob them?”"
-Psalm 35:9-10
With every bone in this broken body I ache.
With every breath my soul sighs.
So much trouble.
So many doubts.
So many years of my soul being in anguish.
Would you please draw near?
I am weak.
Too tired to crawl.
Please rescue me, yet again.
I have fallen, too weak to mend my injuries.
And here I lay,
hear me please,
do not abandon me to my just fate.
Are any good?
Are any righteous?
But it is by Your blood,
Your grace,
Your eternal love
that sinners are saved
and such a silly phrase
that "saints" came into being.
This road is long and painful,
I am afraid
but I will try.
Please do not abandon me,
do not leave me here.
My fear is great,
the fear of never knowing Your presence
and Your love wrap around me.
Rescue me, hold me up
and give me the strength
to face myself
and be willing to heal.
Please.
I will be glad because he rescues me.
With every bone in my body I will praise him:
“Lord, who can compare with you?
Who else rescues the helpless from the strong?
Who else protects the helpless and poor from those who rob them?”"
