Psalm 31 speaks to me as I am

Psalm 31 speaks to me just as I am. 
I hope that this rewriting shows my feelings and does justice to the psalmist as well as being a comfort to those today who find psalms hard to access.

Help me Lord
Keep me safe
See me
Save me
Hear me
Rescue me

You are Lord
Protect me 
Lead me
Guide me
Find me
Redeem me

I am yours
Faithful God
I trust
I praise
I rejoice
I love you

I am flawed
You know me
You see
You love
You help
You protect 

I wail Lord
Comfort me
I cry
I sigh
I collapse
I waste away

They hate me
Love me Lord
They turn
They leave
They flee
They forget me

I trust you 
Lord my God
Hold me
See me
Hear me
Deliver me

You hold me
God of rest
You give
You care
You comfort
You shelter 

Oh blessed Lord
You love me
My hurt
My fear
My life
My everything

You heard me
Oh Lord God
You came
You love
You know
You accept me

Amen

The book of Revelation chapter 12 is very precise: It is woman that delivers the true word John1:1, Rev 12:5, Rev 12:13 who restores Acts 3:21 all things to the world before Christ’s return. This woman exposes the lies of Satan who has deceived the whole world Rev 12:9. This woman creates a new thing in the earth by fulfilling God's promise to Eve Gen 3:15, Jer 31:22, Isa 14:16. Moses and Elijah are together with the word Matt 17:3 they all three are in this one woman. She is like unto Moses Num 12:3. She was raised up Acts 3:22 from the Laodicean church that becomes lukewarm because they refused to hear her Rev 3:14-17. She is bold like Elijah Matt 17:11, Luke 1:17. As Elijah was alone declaring the true God to the people so also her witness alone turns the hearts of the fathers to the children Mal 4:5-6 to prepare a people for the Lords return before the great and dreadful day of the Lord Matt 17:3, Luke 9:30. Those who will not hear Acts 3:23 the true word of God she now deliveres to the world free of charge, as a witness, at the heel of time from the wilderness Rev 12:6 will not be allowed inside the walls of God’s coming kingdom from heaven Rev 21. This true testimony of the true value of the blood of the Lamb delivers the truth that not one child of God will be put in a hell fire no matter what their sins. It never entered the heart or mind of God to ever do such a thing Jer 7:31, Jer 19:5. God created evil Isa 45:7 to teach his children the knowledge of good and evil Rom 8:7, Gen 3:22 so that at their resurrection they become a god Matt 22:29-30, Ps 82:6. Prove all things. You cannot rightly judge this unless you read all that has been written by this woman first Pro 18:13. http://minigoodtale.blogspot.com Check out the bruising of Satan and the reason for all of mankind’s sufferings.
