Psalm 62 took the words right off my tongue.

The pain of Matthew 13:16
“But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.”

Be my strength
sufficient for each day
A grace to feel
to weep
to kneel
to be burdened by sight
while standing in Light

oh, Mercy,
hold me up
hold me up
till You return

oh, Comfort of my broken heart,
You are enough
You are enough

Response to Psalm 62
©7-3-11 Hannah McLean

My lament is nothing new
the world has long since turned away from You
The psalmists wept these tears I weep
and Mary at her Savior’s feet
You never change as You impart
both then and now Your loving heart
Savior, in Your presence I kneel
Thankful for words that speak what I feel

Psalm 62
For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress;
I shall not be greatly shaken.
How long will all of you attack a man

to batter him,

 like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.

 They take pleasure in falsehood.

They bless with their mouths,

 but inwardly they curse.

 Selah
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,

for my hope is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

On God rests my salvation and my glory;

 my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times, O people;

 pour out your heart before him;

 God is a refuge for us.

 Selah
Those of low estate are but a breath;

 those of high estate are a delusion;

in the balances they go up;

 they are together lighter than a breath.

Put no trust in extortion;

 set no vain hopes on robbery;

 if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
Once God has spoken;

 twice have I heard this:

that power belongs to God,

and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.

For you will render to a man

 according to his work.
