Author's Note: based on the eighteenth and thirty-fifth psalms. Title from the book Hind's Feet On High Places, I DO NOT OWN IT. Ahem, very much like a psalm, (Good old fire and brimstone, heh heh, much like "Speak the Truth". NO COMPROMISING or watering down.) For who is God except the Lord?
Much Afraid
My enemies gather around
The sorrows of Hell
And the snares of Death
They all seek
To drag me down
But you will not allow me
To be harmed
In the eye of the storm
When the tempest shrieks
And they cry for my blood
I am not afraid
See, My Lord
I do not bow to them
For You hear my cry
Though your heaven
Is highly exalted
Far above the stars
Your ear is inclined towards me
The mightiest of my enemies quake
And the tide of the nether world recedes
For the trumpets of the angels
Herald the coming of my God
You draw me
From beneath the waves of sin
You set me free in the open
And rescued me
For You love me
The way of the Lord is sure
He is faithful to His own
I, the lowliest of His servants
He has saved
By His grace, I do not stumble
My stride is unerring in His light
Though darkness is all around me
The light of my God is never dimmed
The God of Heaven fights for me
In my defense, He rises up
And He is girt for war
In my defense, He is never silent
And His voice is like thunder
He is the salvation and refuge
Of my soul
The Lord of Hosts
Has made my hands
To bend a bow of bronze
He has made my feet those of a hind
Swift and erring on the high places
Against me, my enemies have not a chance
They are overtaken by my God
And crushed into dust
To be shaken off my sandals
Though they cried out to their gods
None came to save them
For who is God except the Lord?
The Lord of Heaven lives!
He is thrice blessed!
And exalted is His Name!
When I cry to Him in distress
He answers
Among all the nations
I will proclaim the Name of God
And sing praises unto the Lord
To Him
Belongs my victories
Be wary then
Any who would delight in my misfortune
Who would torment me
I am not afraid
The Lord of Heaven is my rock
He is my protector
And the keeper of my life
He is the one Strength
He is the one Way
He is the one Truth
He is the one Life
He is the one Lord
I am His child
And He is my God
I love you, O Lord, my Strength
O Lord, my Rock, my fortress, my deliverer
My God, my rock of refuge
My shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold!
Praised be the Lord! I exclaim
And I am safe from my enemies.
(Ps. 18:1-4)
