Psalm 18

 God, we love You, we trust Your power,

Spirit, You’re our Sanctuary Tower.

When we called, Huge Holy Love,

You rescued us from every gun.

Deadness slithered across our spirits

spewing venom without limits.

Cornered, we cried “Help!” O God, You heard,

Heaven’s Tender Ear bent earthward.

Tremors rattled rocks, shook mountains,

holy anger spurted molten.

You split skies, ripped through storm clouds,

crackled light beams and spattered ice drops.

You voiced rage in flood and thunder

but did not leave us floundering.

Holy Spirit, You held us close,

transported us to Your Safe House.


Far from rip-off gangs and hecklers we played,

You sang us lullabies, kept us loyal.

Faithful people know You faithful,

healthy ones in You are healthful.

Truthful speakers find Your Word true,

but deceivers refuse to face You.

God, Your Grace promotes the humble

and causes proud ones to stumble.

Your Brilliance fires our courage,

dazzles foes and burns all blockage.

Your Life-Way is perfect in wisdom,

Your protection boulder solid.

Who else can claim to be divine?

On whom but You can we rely?

Ready, set to deter conflict

we deflect darts by Your Spirit.

You expunge our dread of failure,

gently bolstering our endurance.

Hail, Ever-Living Ruler of all.

Your Love ignites worldwide awe.
