A David Psalm 1-2 God! God! I am running to you for dear life; the chase is wild. If they catch me, I’m finished: ripped to shreds by foes fierce as lions, dragged into the forest and left unlooked for, unremembered. 3-5 God, if I’ve done what they say— betrayed my friends, ripped off my […]

A David Psalm 1 God, brilliant Lord, yours is a household name. 2 Nursing infants gurgle choruses about you; toddlers shout the songs That drown out enemy talk, and silence atheist babble. 3-4 I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewelry, Moon and stars mounted in their settings. Then I look […]

A David Psalm 1-2 I’m thanking you,God, from a full heart, I’m writing the book on your wonders.

You took over and set everything […]

1-2 God, are you avoiding me? Where are you when I need you? Full of hot air, the wicked are hot on the trail of the poor. Trip them up, tangle them up in their fine-tuned plots. 3-4 The wicked are windbags, the swindlers have foul breath. The wicked snubGod, their noses stuck high in […]

A David Psalm 1-2 Long enough,God— you’ve ignored me long enough. I’ve looked at the back of your head long enough. Long enough I’ve carried this ton of trouble, lived with a stomach full of pain. Long enough my arrogant enemies have looked down their noses at me. 3-4 Take a good look at me,God, […]

A David Psalm 1 Bilious and bloated, they gas, “God is gone.” Their words are poison gas, fouling the air; they poison Rivers and skies; thistles are their cash crop. 2 Godsticks his head out of heaven. He looks around. He’s looking for someone not stupid— one man, even, God-expectant, just one God-ready woman. 3 […]

A David Psalm 1 God, who gets invited to dinner at your place? How do we get on your guest list? 2 “Walk straight, act right, tell the truth. 3-4 “Don’t hurt your friend, don’t blame your neighbor; despise the despicable. 5 “Keep your word even when it costs you, make an honest living, never […]

A David Song 1-2 Keep me safe, O God, I’ve run for dear life to you. I say toGod, “Be my Lord!” Without you, nothing makes sense. 3 And these God-chosen lives all around— what splendid friends they make! 4 Don’t just go shopping for a god. Gods are not for sale. I swear I’ll […]
