“Stretch out Your hand from above;
Rescue me and deliver me out of
great waters,
From the hand of foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks vain words,
And whose right hand is a right
hand of falsehood.” Psalm 144:7-8
David repeats this statement twice in Psalm 144, not afraid of being politically incorrect.
Lord, please deliver me from all “foreign” thoughts, and the vain words and false actions that can follow. And here is a simple poem . . .
Stretch Out Your Hand
Please rescue me
and deliver me
out of the
great waters
of foreign thoughts
and vain words
and the falsehood
that follows.
