Psalm 35 (continued)

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:
Since they hid their net for me without cause
  and without cause dug a pit for me,
may ruin overtake them by surprise --
   may the net they hid entangle them
   may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord
   and delight in his salvation.
My whole being will exclaim,
  "Who is like you, O Lord?
 You rescue the poor from those too strong for them,
   the poor and needy from those who rob them."

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:

Since they laid a trap for me without merit
  and dug a hole for me to fall into
may calamity overtake them by surprise --
  may the trap they laid take hold of them
  may they fall into the hole, to their dismay.
Then my spirit will rejoice in the Lord
  and  be happy in adulation.
My whole being will cry out,
 "O Lord there is no other like unto you.
You come to the aid of one who is overcome,
  the thirsty and needy from those who would harm them."

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:

O Lord my soul cries out in adoration.

This creature bows before you
ever in supplication.

You grant her every wish -
as it would seem to her earthly eye -

She wishes to thank you -
for your kindness and generosity.

The words you whisper in her ear
are ever held with great sincerity.

She adds with a little humor and
 ever in adulation - please keep
 the lines of communication open -
 so that she may ever always honor
 you with the written word -
 if it be only your sole desire

She knows - and I know you know - 
I loved you then
and I love you now.
