Soul Food - 8/1/8

From today's reading: Psalm 3-4, 12-13, 28, 55, 2 Samuel 16-18

Listen to my prayer, O God,
do not ignore my plea;

hear me and answer me.
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught

at the voice of the enemy,
at the stares of the wicked;


for they bring down suffering upon me
and revile me in their anger.

My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death assail me.

Fear and trembling have beset me;
horror has overwhelmed me.

I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest-

I would flee far away
and stay in the desert;


I would hurry to my place of shelter,
far from the tempest and storm."


- Psalm 55:1-8
