Revealing Abba in the Psalms | How Jesus saw God as Abba

Revealing Abba in Psalm 17

Hear Me Abba; Your righteous One, and all the innocent and oppressed as their cry comes to Your ears;

Let Us bring forth justice; the thing that is right and just in Your eyes, which is the destruction of death and all that seeks to destroy the innocent; clothing them in Your life and immortality;

You have strengthened My heart, You have been with Me in My darkest hour, and I have found that My desire is to do Your will O Abba; I will not use My lips to preserve My life, but into Your hands will I trust My life;

Your teaching and instruction Abba have kept Me from the corrupt wisdom in the world; and from the works of man’s hands, the way that leads to destruction;

You uphold Me Abba, ever influencing My heart in the way of life;

You always hear Me when I cry out to You. O Abba, You are always leaning into hear Me and the cry of the innocent;

Show forth Your everlasting kindness, O Abba, bringing salvation by Me; Your right hand; for all those who put their trust in You; conquering their death and raising them to new life;

Keep Me forever as the apple of Your eye. Hide Me under Your mighty hand of protection;

From all that seeks to destroy and oppress Me; from the deadly enemies who circle around Me;

They find their greatness in their substance; boasting loudly of their own ability and enticing Me to do the same;

They have ignorantly set themselves against Your way unto life;

Seeking to destroy the innocent; by secretly luring them into their corrupted way of thinking; trusting in the strength of their own hand for life;

Let Us Abba; spoil and bring to shame this corrupt wisdom; triumphing over it and exposing it for the death that is contained in it; bringing an end to it;

Deliver Me, Your beloved, from the enemy, death, that has circled around Me; swallowing it up with Your incorruptible life; speaking an eternal word to all men that this is also their testimony and inheritance;

In order that all men might find their sure hope in You Abba; and not what they can bring forth for themselves; comforting all those who are oppressed by death and crying out to You daily;

Abba, just as I have beheld in Your face, and Your everlasting kindness in putting an end to the death that came against Me and all Your beloved; They also can behold themselves in My face with the hope of the same life and immortality they see in Me.

As for Me Abba, I shall be fully satisfied and complete when I awake to the power of Your resurrection and sit at Your right hand, in an immortal human body with Your likeness.
