Quoted from A Book of Psalms: Selected and Adapted from the Hebrew, by Stephen Mitchell. The Book of Praises, the ancient rabbis called it.
Light up my eyes with your presence;
Let me feel your love in my bones.
Keep me from losing myself in ignorance and despair.
Teach me to be endlessly patient.
Let me trust that your love enfolds me
When my heart feels desolate and dry.
I will sing to the Lord at all times,
Even from the depths of pain.
From “Psalm 13”, pg. 6
