Re-Written Psalm

I am taking a marriage class through church this month, and one of our assignments was to re-write one of God's Psalms of protection. I am by no means a Psalmist, but thought I would share all the same, as this one has really brought me comfort -

Psalm 4 (in my own words)


Respond to me when I cry out,

Worthy Lord.

Provide safety from my grief;

Show me your mercy and answer my prayers.

How long will others profit at my misfortune,

And love the hollow things of the world?

God has set apart what is Holy for himself;

Do not let your anger trip you up,

At night know your heart, quietly.

Trust the Lord and give Him what is His,

Many want to know where good can possibly arise?

Let God's light shine upon our countenances,

You have fulfilled me with more happiness,

Than anything on Earth can.

I will rest easy at night,

For you alone, O Lord,

Give me peace and protection.
