Psalm 54

Psalms for Praying 
Nan C. Merrill 
   

Awaken me, O Mighty One, 
in your holy mercy, 
that I might be free of fear. 
Hear my prayer, O Holy One, 
give ear to the words of my mouth.  
  
For nagging doubts assail me, 
bringing loneliness and pain;
I remember not the Beloved, 
so overwhelming are my fears.  
 
Yet behold, You are my helper,
the upholder of my life. 
With You I have strength  
to face my fears, 
in your faithfulness help me 
to let them go. 
  
With boundless confidence,
I abandon myself to You;
I give praise to your name, 
O Beloved, 
with gratitude and joy. 
For You deliver me from illusion, 
and through Love, 
my heart opens to Wisdom.
