Page 63 - Your Extravagant Kindness
P. 63
Who desires long life,
who yearns for many days, in order to enjoy good?
Guard your tongue from speaking evil words,
and your lips from speaking deceitfully.
Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.
Our gracious Guardian looks toward those who draw close.
The Creator's ears are attuned to their cry.
Our Protector faces off against evil,
cuts off the remembrance of wickedness from the earth.
When those who have integrity cry for help, Godde hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
Our Guardian remains close to the brokenhearted,
and rescues those with crushed spirits.
The friends of Godde often experience trouble;
but Godde the Holy One delivers them from evil.
The faithful One's bones are intact;
not one of them is broken.
Evil destroys with wickedness.
Condemnation haunts those who hate integrity,
but our Guardian redeems the lives of those who serve Godde –
no one who take refuge in Godde will be condemned.
