Psalm 70 Prayed

Psalm 70 Prayed
Struggling with doubt


   Hasten, O God, to save me;
            O Lord Jesus, come quickly to help me.
   I feel like I am out of the boat,
            and trying to walk on water,
            to come towards you.
   But I have seen the wind and am afraid.
            I am beginning to sink.
   May those thoughts that seek my life
            be put to shame and confusion;
   may all those that desire my ruin
            be turned back in disgrace.
   May those doubts that say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
            turn back because of their shame.
   I cry out to you, “Lord, save me!”
            Immediately, reach out your hand and catch
            me.
   For I am of little faith.
            Why do I doubt?
   Help me to take my eyes of the size of my faith,
            for you have promised me,
  “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed,
            you can say to this mulberry tree,
    ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’
            and it will obey you.”
    For it is not the size or power of my faith
            that could do this, O Lord,
            but the size of your power.
    So may I be with all who seek you,
            who rejoice and are glad in you;
   may I be with those who love your salvation,
            always saying, “Let God be exalted!”

   Yet I am poor and needy;
            come quickly to me, O God.
    You are my help and my deliverer;
            O Lord Jesus, do not delay.




Psalm 70
For the director of music. Of David. A petition.
  
1   Hasten, O God, to save me;
            O LORD, come quickly to help me.
Matt. 14:29  “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.  30a But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink...

2   May those who seek my life
            be put to shame and confusion;
      may all who desire my ruin
            be turned back in disgrace.
3   May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
            turn back because of their shame.
Matt. 14:30b ..cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

Luke 17:6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

4   But may all who seek you
            rejoice and be glad in you;
     may those who love your salvation always say,
            “Let God be exalted!”

5   Yet I am poor and needy;
            come quickly to me, O God.
      You are my help and my deliverer;
            O LORD, do not delay.
