Psalm 102

The Lord is my healer;
~~my soul is well in his all-healing hand.

My spirit is whole in the arm of his care;
~~the Holy One is my cure.

Give me medicine from the physician who follows him;
~~give me a remedy from the doctor who hallows him.

Psalm 101

I set my feet in fields where you dwell, O Lord, in meadows swelled with chamomile;
~~I press my heels on hillocks where you ripen petaled eyes and there I sense a spray of yellow solace.

From your scent, the fragrance of lavender warms my bath;
~~from your palate, the flavor of coriander fills my bowl.

Let the greenlings of all the earth fall before me on a path that leads me only to your nearness;
~~let my desires descend from the ever-higher mountain pass.

Make my wonder at your handiwork a world of joy;
~~make my comfort the secrets of love you cradle in the folds of a rose.

Psalm 100

Blessed is the daughter who loves the Lord as the willow loves the river,
~~as the slender branch loves the river and the wren.

Blessed is the son who loves God as stone loves the earth,
~~as soft, pure marble loves its earthly calling and the sculptor’s angel song.

Psalm 99

As an upright man protects his daughter,
~~so shall I be mindful of my maiden thought.

Psalm 98

As the glow of the moon shows the hidden work of the sun,
~~so the work of The Hidden Words shows the light of religion as one.
