Devotional Short Note on Psalm 121: A Believer’s Perspective

It may deem fit with this Psalm to contemporize the Psalm with shades of experience and stripes of any century. It is just experimental. The form it is cast in here was done in July of 2007 and then on the 31st of July 2007, dr. Lawrence Geraty wrote about it to me: "This is a beautiful and meaningful rendition of this psalm". Should probably share it here as well with all? 

[While I was near a high and beautiful rocky mountain

and my thoughts were all wrapped up with the terrible pain in my body-

with specialists and doctors not knowing what it is-

tired of wondering,

tired of speculating what it could be-]

My eyes slowly turned upwards to the mountains

[drinking in the majestic beauty with sunrays falling

on the rocks bringing out the shadows and sharpness

and whiteness of some big rocks

and the sky is very blue

and the trees and grass on it here and there are inviting green]

From where shall my rescue come?

[From where can I hope to get deliverance for my pain?]

[A thought in my own voice I heard saying]

"My help is from what is completely in the Lord

From that which is in the Lord

[From the totality that is in the Lord's essence and being

From the great "I am what I am" to Moses

From the one that Moses describes to us] as making heaven and earth-

My feet will not get tired [and all the energy that is given me is

coming from Him

and if there is no energy, He decided that it is not to be there]

He is carefully watching me and is not asleep

It is evident that the Keeper of believing Israel does not take a

nap and sleep

[Amid nurses and doctors that come on duty and go off duty]

the Lord is my keeper

[A shadow follows me always wherever I go, so] the Lord is my shadow

on my right side

[I can look to see if my shadow is there and with the same reality and certainly know my Lord is there too!]

The sun will not affect me negatively in the day nor the moon in the night

Any evil that Satan may organize to surround me, will have no effect,

because my keeper is with me

[Even if Satan succeed in killing my body], my soul He keeps, [my DNA

He remembers,

I am written in the hollow of His Hand]

[Therefore

I attend church today and render my heart completely to

Him, pleading for forgiveness of all my misdeeds-]

and now, the Lord is my keeper should I walk out of that door or if I should come in again

from now

until He comes again on the clouds to make it forever.
