Revealing Abba in Psalm 76
| In Me, the Son, is God known as Abba: His name is great to all His beloved; And also, in the city of our God has He brought peace, in Me His dwelling place on the holy mount; There He broke the power of death; the bow and the fiery darts of the enemy; breaking their strength and might, disarming the enemy’s weapons of warfare; You O Abba have shined Your light and Your life in Me; Your glory is most excellent, overcoming the enemy; Whose might was plundered and has sunk into a dead sleep with no more strength left in his hands; At Your rebuke O Abba, both the chariot and the horse of the enemy are swallowed up in the deep; In You Abba, do I behold Your works in amazement; for no enemy can stand against Your judgment when Your anger is kindled against it; You have caused the dead to hear Your voice and Your judgment from heaven, and the earth stood still in awe; When You raised Me up in judgment; saving all those who saw they had no strength to give themselves life but looked to You Abba; Surely, the passion of a man for life will find rest and thanksgiving in You, and in every memory of that passion will he find his strength in You Abba; With joy and thanksgiving have I called upon Your name Abba; let all that see the work You have done in Me to give them blessing and life as a gift; call upon Your name in perfect praise; standing in awe of Your great love for them Abba; For You have cast out the prince of this world; and have spoiled the death which was against us; restoring the way unto life. |
