Speak up, Yahweh!
I’m calling for you with everything I’ve got.
I’ll obey your wise words.
Save me!
I’m calling and calling to you.
I’ll stick to the boundary markers you set up.
Setting my alarm before dawn,
I get up early
So I can cry to you for help.
My only hope is in what you’ll say.
Sleepless,
As the hours slip by through the night,
I turn my attention to your promises.
Spare my life, Yahweh, in your justice.
Hear my voice, in your love.
So close, Yahweh.
So present.
And your commands?
So true.
Studying your statutes
When I was younger
Taught me that you set them up
To last forever.
Psalm 119 (S is for Qoph)
