Psalm 5

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
