hope

psalm 33 -

THE PSALMIST

We wait in hope for the Lord;
  he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice,
  for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord,
  even as we put our hope in you.

my thoughts -
 despite my own unwillingness and desires
I put them aside to listen to you,
 your desire -
I love you and I always will.


PSALM OF DORIS

I wait with absent notice of breath for the Lord;
  he is my only hope.
In him my heart beats loudly
  for my trust is ever locked in his holy name.

My lips tremble and my mouth gives shape to the formless
 Yahweh is his name.

May your unfailing love rest upon me, O Lord,
  even as my creature ly desire rises to meet you
  if only in in the hope of my heart.
