a new Psalm

Psalm 140 (for parental care)


Lord, in your mercy, restore us from the world’s pain.

Protect us from these who do not support our needs, those who devise worldly schemes and stir the hurt within us. They speak bureaucratic truths that are questionable. Keep us oh Lord from the hands of incompetents, those who do not seek individual needs to be met. “Professionals” seem to put a hook in us, push us along the path to a generalized good rather than the individual good for each. I say to you, “OH GOD, YOU ARE OUR LORD. Hear our pleas for help. Oh, mighty God, our strong deliverer who covers our whole body with your healing protective shield. Do not let medical bureaucracy. Do not let the masses take over. Let those who appear helpful to feel our hurt, needs and concerns. Let them put an end to general procedure and policy. Let them speak the truth for each individual situation. May they experience our concerns. I know, God, you secure justice for us and uphold the needs of family. We praise you. We believe you. Hear our petition.
