Let me see if I can 'make sense' of this psalm, having just read the morning's Globe and Mail section 1 with its stories of mass child abuse and the corruption of warlords, and the bridge column - warning me to make an appropriate safety play.
| For the leader, in octaves | A Psalm of David |
| Save LORD, for ceased are the mercied for vanished are the faithful among the children of dust. | |
| Emptiness they speak a man to his friend lip divided in heart and heart they speak | |
| The LORD shall cut off all lips from the divided tongue speaking boasts | |
| who said with our tongue is strength our lips with us who is Lord to us? | |
| For havoc of the poor for the groaning of the needy now I will arise says the LORD I will impose. In safety he will breathe to it. | |
| The sayings of the LORD sayings of purity silver refined in a furnace in earth purified seven times | |
| You, O LORD keep them You will guard us from this generation to an age | |
| All around the wicked walk to lift up the worthlessness of the children of dust. |
If the first pass through the psalms took 1.5 years - the second pass will take 15. Every letter, every differing translation, every note - one psalm a month? Yet I know this is not possible - there must be a better way. Instant love.
