Revealing Abba in Psalm 64
| O Abba, You hear Me cry in My
affliction; Your life delivers Me from the fear of death; Keeping Me safe from the word that I lack life; and from the crowd animated by the corrupt thinking death brings; Those under the reign of death sharpen their tongues like a sword; to shoot their bitter words like arrows; Waiting for an opportunity to ambush the righteous; they strike with no regard for man or God; Conspiring together to bring misery; setting snares in secret, in hopes they surprise their victim; They search to destroy the just; accomplishing it through false witness; revealing the exceedingly deep corruption that death has brought to their minds; But You Abba, will destroy death with one arrow; suddenly slaughtering it with one blow; So shall the way that animated the unjust collapse upon itself; all that see it will flee; All those who see and believe the work that Abba has declared in Me to destroy death; shall consider themselves also risen together with Me; The ones who see how Abba has rescued them from death and given them His life; the same life they see in Me, will rejoice and be glad; trusting Him to bring forth the same glory and immortality in them. |
