Psalm 120, BSV (Bernice Seward Version)


I wrote this personal version of Psalm 120 while taking Beth Moore's Stepping Up Bible study. It's a great study, by the way :-)

 

Psalm 120, BSV

I am distressed and call to my Yahweh;
And You answer me!
Yahweh, deliver me from perceived lack
And desire for things I cannot have.
 
Yes, what will He do to you,
Stricture and deception and want?
Sliced through with the sword of the Spirit,
Divided asunder by the Word of Truth!
 
Such misery, that I have dwelt in Want-land
And lingered over desires that need not be met.
Too long have I lived with discontent.
On one level I desire contentment,
On another I am conflicted.
