Prayer 2

I will worship You, Oh Lord! Your praise is the breath
of life upon my lips! How refreshing is Your word
on my tongue! In Your Tabernacle, You gather
me to Your flock, You lead Your fold to green
pastures, You make us lie down. With a shout,
You shake the heavens, You move the heavens
and split the sky. Oh Lord, Your voice is like the ancient

waters, the mighty rushing rivers of old; Your breath
is like the wind that flows from the tops of mountains!
Who is like You, Oh Lord? I will pour out my heart
to You; I will inquire of You at Your gates; I will set
my eyes upon Your throne. Your glory surrounds
You like royal robes, radiant as the sun; a river
of light flows out from Your feet. In the darkness,
find me and hide me, Oh Lord, in Your shadow.

Set me high upon a cliff, and keep my feet from failing
in the time of trouble. Speak to my soul and satisfy
my hunger, teach me the ways of Your restraint
that I may be radiant in the light of Your glory.
Clothe me in righteousness and gird my loins
with Your faithfulness; write Your name upon my heart
and set Your Word in my mouth, and I will sing
to the waste places. Yea, I will shout as one

advancing upon His enemies! I will praise You
and not be silent! In Your Tabernacle, I will sound
the alarm! I will lead the charge! Awaken, awaken!
The time spoken of from the ancients is upon us!
The battle field is set; the enemy ranks are lined
in formation; they gather in the valleys, they swarm
upon the cities. Their might is awesome to behold.
Who can resist them? Rise up, all you willing!

Put on the armor of your God and clothe yourselves
in the might of His Hand! Those that despise
the name of our God have set themselves against us,
and even they defy Him. Therefore, do not be silent!
Sing a new song! With the stringed instruments
and the beating of drums, proclaim judgement, His
righteous judgement! For His laws are perfect
and His precepts are without fault; His statutes
are unwavering; there is no darkness in them.
There is none who can stand against Him!
