Page 9 - Your Extravagant Kindness

Psalm 2

Why does my mind rage?
Why do I create these vain plots?
My thoughts rebel against the Creator
and the Anointed.

I don't want to be a creature,
limited by laws of nature.

Godde laughs; my pride rebuked,
I am overcome with awe
as the Creator speaks:
“I present the Anointed One to you.”

I listen,
proclaim Godde's grace as

I hear, “You are my beloved child;
this day I have begotten you.”

You say, “Ask me, and I will give you

the nations as your home
and the ends of the earth will delight you.
The thoughts that drag you down will be shattered;

false pride will crumble like pottery fragments.”

“Be wise, take heed
revere me, your Creator.
Celebrate my divine presence –

tremble with reverence and delight.

Accept this kiss of peace.

Don't journey away from me to your destruction –
if you turn away you will feel my great sorrow.

Don't you know? Blessings come
by bringing your thoughts to me, your Creator.”
