Psalm 57 1 Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. 2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills {his purpose} for me. 3 He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; Selah God sends his love and his faithfulness. 4 I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. 6 They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah 7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. 8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. 9 I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. 10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. 11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. So I haven't written in this thing for a long while. In a nutshell, this passage is just one of many psalms that I've been reflecting on these past couple of weeks, talking about how sinful I've been and how hurtful I've been to God and the people who are close to me. To those who I hurt in the past and present, I'm sorry. But most of all, I'm sorry God for being an unfaithful son and for lacking so much and for hurting you so much. I only hope that I can change myself and become more Christ-like little by little every day, like that song "Little by Little". Hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed week... |
