Meditation on Psalm 6

Only you can save me from despair, which haunts me day and night

Remove the veil from my eyes so I can see you.

Surely, if I keep you always in my sight, there is no fear that can possibly engulf me.

Meditation on Psalm 5

If I speak as though you are always listening, O Source of Love

Then my words will more likely be compassionate

And I may avoid needless offense.

But when I forget, O Giver of Blessings

I rejoice in your forgiveness.

Meditation on Psalm 4

I am ready, oh Lover of Souls, to turn myself over to you right now.

Let me not forget that in another hour,
   when a river of thoughts come to take me away.

Remind me to call upon you again and again.

Let me be the good that is you.

Let me see the good that is you,

When the sun shines and when the rains fall.

Only then will I have peace.

Meditation on Psalm 3

Tens of thousands of voices swirl in my head, telling me of all my failures.

But you, O Source of Love, cover me with kisses and clothe me with a cloak of loving kindness.

For every second of self-loathing, you shower me with an hour of assurances.

Let me be lifted high upon a tidal wave of compassion and be gently washed upon the sand of warm embraces.

Alleluia Amen!

Meditation on Psalm 2

O Mommy dear, who loves me through and through and delights
   in my every breath and step and word:

Why do I shun your love with self-doubt?

My toddling dance, which is wondrous in your sight,

   becomes clumsy only when I turn away from your love.

My attempts at wisdom become foolishness when I keep you at a distance.

My plans are a blessing in your holy chamber,

   yet become useless without you.

A hastily spoken word becomes harsh outside your care,

   yet remains sacred when carried on the winds of your spirit.

Happy am I when I remember you.
