A warning to those who would lean on their own understanding…
…who would trust in man’s wisdom and might.
…who would go without God.
These false sons reject instruction.
They trust in oppression and guile.
They manipulate others in selfishness.
Their fall will be great, says the LORD.
“In repentance and rest you will be saved.”
“In quietness and trust is your strength.”
Hear this astounding statement…
“The LORD longs to be gracious to you…”
“He waits on high to have compassion on you.”
Turn, O my soul!
At your cry He is here!
Forgive me, Father…
Then He is here as my Teacher.
He will help me put away the idols of my heart.
He will bind me
and heal me
and refresh me.
Rivers of living water will be in me.
The name of יהוה is power and glory.
Beautiful, awe-full and wonderful.
Come and reign in us, LORD!
