Lifting My Soul

(My Psalm 25)

I lift up my soul expectantly.

I trust triumphantly.
None that wait on God are ashamed.

Teach me your ways.

Guide through life’s maze.
Lead me, Lord of my salvation.

I wait faithfully

Every day unfailingly
for your return, my Redeemer.

Your mercies are timeless.
I recall each kindness
loving Father of compassion.

He guides with judgment

those who keep his covenant.
Good and upright is the Lord.

Pardon mine iniquity.

Forget each sin done secretly,
seen openly by the Omniscient. 

My soul shall dwell at ease

for even when on my knees
My eyes are ever toward the Lord.

The Lord is with them that fear him,

with those who in awe revere him.
He is the truest, steadfast Friend.

He will pluck my feet out of the net

rescue me from every threat
for he alone is my Deliverer.

When my aching soul is battered,

my suffering spirit shattered,
look upon me, most Merciful.

Bring me out of my distresses.

my self-inflicted messes;
forgive all my sins, sweet Savior.

For I wait on you my King,
Adonai, my everything.
Jesus, my Messiah.

A prayer for forgiveness and deliverance. Lifting my soul, my everything, to Almighty God. Enough said this time around. Because, thankfully, He knows even the words of the heart that our limited vocabulary can't express. Thank You, Lord, for knowing...Amen.
