Psalm 56

That Your dear ones may be delivered,
~~that Your dearly loved be saved,
~~that Your beloved be set free, like the scent of hyacinths on a bend of wind,

Lord, let Your children remain as willful as a tumble of twisted twigs,
~~save the sincere, lifting as selflessly as dew in morning’s innocence;

And in the saddened land of a parched and hardened heart,
~~before day’s end folds up the sun, hear me.
