Through the abundance of your steadfast love
I shall enter your house;
I shall worship in your holy temple
with reverence for You.
Lead me, O my Beloved, in your mercy
lighten my fears;
make your way straight before me
that I may follow.
For there is no truth in fear;
it leads to downfall;
it opens the door to loneliness;
it speaks not with integrity,
but out of ignorance;
Let this guilt I bear, my Beloved,
be seen in your light;
forgive the many false ways I have,
surround them with your love,
for they keep me separated from You.
Psalm 5,
Psalms for Praying, Nan C. Merrill
