Psalms 16
Keep me safe O God,
For in you I take refuge
I said to the Lord:-
“You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing,”
My God, in you my heart rejoices,
You are the life or freedom my soul seeks,
In you O Lord, I find truth, peace, love and life.
Eternity is the air you breathe,
Goodness is what you see.
Lord, in you a life is made whole.
And I lay my life in you
O Lord God of all creation,
You made me to live
But yet you let me live in this world.
Where I am tried and tested with misery,
People turn to their stubborn hearts.
They follow a road that leads to fire
In their own ways they judge others
In ways lit with sin and darkness.
They speak of death as though it were life
And say, “this then is how life should be.”
My heart O Lord is made weary,
For there is so much I lack in this life.
I see a universe of life enveloped in me,
An infinite life beating in the heart of my soul.
With all my senses I can see the error of this life.
It is a lie disguised in a body of flesh and bone.
Whoever listens to this life shall hear,
the dreadful horrors it lays to the soul.
O Lord my God,
You have delighted in me,
You lead and guide me in your ways,
In ways that lead to life everlasting.
I praise you O Lord,
In this life I will praise you,
I will give you all the Glory
For you are the One and Only
True one to speak to me.
You Lord are Eternal,
You are real,
Your Word is true and eternal,
And I have resolved with my mouth
With my heart and with soul.
That you are my God and Savior
You are the life I seek.
Forever I will look up to you,
For you are the Way of life.
