This is a psalm, originally written by me. It aims to capture how God has been my vindication in this season of my life.
Oh Lord, Sovereign LORD,
You are my Vindication.
When trouble surround me,
When my enemies lie in wait in the dark,
For me to make errors
Or commit mistakes,
While wicked foes dig a pit for me at night,
And wait for me to fall into it in the morning,
You, oh LORD,
You rise up and protect me.
You build your Hedge of Fire around me.
You order my steps.
You make sure I go in the right way.
I, by myself,
Am not above mistakes,
But by Your Hand alone
I am delivered from the pits of my enemies,
From the traps they set before me.
You rescue me from them all.
I am never on point for tragedy;
It’s either I’m behind it
Or one step ahead.
You alone do all this,
So I praise you forever, Sovereign LORD,
The God of Jeshurun,
Who rides from the Heavens
To bring help to me.
Those who anticipate my downfall,
They will all sleep in death.
They will anticipate in vain,
Because the LORD
Is my vindication.
