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."
