Episode 124: Psalm 69

Today's meditation is on Psalm 69

Save me, O my God. The floods have risen. Deeper and deeper I sink in the mire; the waters rise around me. I have wept until I am weary and exhausted; my throat is dry and hoarse my voice is gone. My eyes are swollen with weeping. And I'm waiting for you, God, to come through for me.

O God, you know how foolish I can be, and you know all my sins, they cannot be hidden from you. My life is an open book to you. You know everything I have ever done. O God of Angel Armies, don’t let me be a stumbling block to those who trust in you. O God, don’t let me cause them to be confused. 

Even my own family pretends they don’t know me! But my zeal for you and for your work burns hot within me. My heart is on fire. My passion for your house consumes me. Nothing will turn me away. I am scoffed and mocked when I mourn and fast before you, Lord. They talk about me and make fun of me when I sorrow for my sins. My passion for you is scorned.

But I keep right on praying to you, Lord, for now is the season of your favor. In your unfailing love, O God, you answer my prayer. You are ready with a plentiful supply of love and kindness. You answer my prayer. You come close to me as a friend and redeem me as you promised. You pull me out of the mire, and you don't let me sink any deeper. You keep me from being overwhelmed and swallowed up. You save me from the pit. 

Your unfailing loving-kindness is wonderful; your mercy is so plentiful, so tender and so kind. You do not hide from me when I am in trouble. But, you come quickly to save me. You have ransomed me from the enemy.

When my heart was broken and my spirit heavy within me, you rescued me, O God, from my poverty and pain. Your miracle rescue comes to me and lifts me to the highest place. And now I praise you with my singing. I honor you with my thanksgiving, for a sacrifice of praise is what pleases you. I see my God at work for me, and I overflow with gladness. I seek you and you revive my heart filling it with joy. You will never abandon me.

Let heaven and earth praise you. Let all the seas and everything in them praise your name. You have saved me and rebuilt my life. And you cause me to live in peace and safety.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
