Monday is for Discussion
Another offering for the poetry project. We live in a post-resurrection world. We live in a world that has been radically changed by “the news of a great joy that will be for all the people” (Luke 2:10) and a Savior who rose from the dead (Luke 24:7). We live in a God inhabited world and it effects (or should) everything we do, including, reading the Psalms.
Read Psalm 24:1-10
A Psalm of David Re-heard
Its all Yours, all of it
Everything I see and everyone I don’t
There’s never been a day
When it wasn’t Yours
For You conceived it
And grew it up from the ocean depths
And placed Your peoples on its river banks
You are pure, and holy, and righteous.
Where You dwell, I cannot ascend;
I cannot stand in such a holy place.
I don’t have clean hands ;
I don’t have a pure heart;
I often dwell with falsehood;
And my heart often deceives itself.
How can I receive any blessing from You,
with an unrighteous soul?
But You are a God of salvation.
You are a God who gives righteousness;
You are the God who places new hearts in stony places;
You are the God who woos the heart;
You are the God who gives grace,
And causes the blind to seek sight. Selah
So, like the ancient gates
I will lift up my head
that the King of glory may inhabit my heart.
But who is the King of Glory?
. The Lord, the scarred and pierced
. The Lord, triumphant over death.
He is the King of Glory.
So, like the ancient gates
. I will lift up my head
. that the King of glory may conquer my heart.
Who is the King of glory?
. The Lamb of God, who takes away sins,
. The Lamb of God, slain from the foundations of the earth,
He is the King of glory! Selah
Go to Psalm 25.
