Psalm 31 Style (the Living Bible)
“Lord, I trust in you alone”
(1)…who else is there really? …my boots have no straps. How could I pull myself up?
“Answer quickly when I cry to you; bend low and hear my whispered plea.”
(2) I can only manage a whisper from this downtrodden dark place and I don’t have long. I am desperate. Hurry.
“You are my Rock; honor your name by leading me out of this peril”
(3) “You alone are strong enough”
(4) “Into your had I commit my spirit.”
(5) Lord, I see here the story of Gethsemane when your beloved Son pleaded for the cup to be removed.
“You have rescued me, O God who keeps his promises…I am radiant with joy because of your mercy, for you have listened to my troubles and have seen the crisis in my soul.”
(6,7) I trust in you alone and believe your promise to guide me out of trouble and hold me through the crises.
Gethsemane is the road to eternal life.
