Psalm 5 by Heather Westra
Oh Lord, please hear my crying voice to you
And, listen to the words I have to say.
When every morning, I will ask for grace
And, for your love to guide me through the day.
My God, I know that you will keep me straight,
For you are not a God of evil ways;
And no one wicked shall be in your light,
Destroy the men who spoil your ears with lies.
Oh, turn me from my sinful nature, Lord;
And, welcome me into your house of love.
And cannot praise your holy name enough.
May all the guilty hearts of men fall down
Who slice their master’s name with faulty tongues.
My enemies will fall back on their swords
And perish when they fight the will of God.
But, for the ones who boldly state your claim;
Pour down your blessings with abundant grace.
Embrace and shield them with your loving arms
And guide their feet toward your warm
embrace.
