The Cry Of It

We recently acquired, through the grace of God, a CD of Psalms from our beloved brethren in Texas. There is one that is particulary appropriate for they way things seem to be going right now, and I am blessed to play it in an endless loop this day.

Psalm 13

How long wilt Thou forget me Lord? Shall it forever be?

Oh how long shall it be that Thou wilt hide Thy face from me?

How long shall I plan in my soul with grief in heart all day?

Oh how long shall my enemy hold his exalted sway?

Consider me, oh Lord my God, and answer Thou my cry.

Oh to my eyes give light lest I should sleep with those who die.

And lest my enemy should say, "I have him overcome".

Lest advesaries should rejoice, because I shaken am.

But I have trusted in Thy love; I'll Thy salvation praise.

My heart will sing and bless the Lord who dealt with me in grace.

Thank you Lord. My prayer is that you may hear the cry of it, for Thy Name's Sake. Amen.
