Psalm 26

1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

3 For thy loving kindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

O Lord

My patience is lacking,
Yet my faith grounded strong,
Awaiting the events written by the prophets,
Seeking signs daily,
Days and nights so long.

O Lord,

My spirit is restless,
Sleep does not come easily,
Circles of sorrow,
Camp out under my eyes,
Waiting on the anti-Christ
My mission to testify.

O Lord,

My seclusion,
Separation from this world,
My steps though shortened,
My strength in The Word,

O Lord,

Protected by your Hand,
Courage from Your example,
Your Light shining on my footsteps,
Emprinted across wet sand.

Amen.
