Psalm 201
Psalm 201 > “I know nothing of this world, > I want nothing of this world. > Set me free. > Save me from this evil material world > and protect me from the plots > of the evil beings surrounding me. > I am a lamb among wolves, > a breath among smoke, > a cry among the sleeping. > You are my refuge, > You are the cave within my soul. > Let Your Light wrap around me > like the veil that covered Sinai. > For the earth is treacherous, > and the flesh is a fading mirage. > My enemies wear smiles, > their hearts sharpened like blades. > They offer honey and whisper poison. > Tear me away from their banquet of illusions. > Starve me of this world > and feed me Your nearness. > I have walked through all my breath and steps, > and in each, I cried for You. > Let me walk on earth no more. > Let me dissolve. > Let me be > only Yours."
