my homework

Last week at the catechist training course by Father Terence, we were all given homework. We had to re-write a psalm. Any psalm. So I decided to do my favourite psalm :) PSALM 91. I was first 'introduced' to this some years ago by my dad. This prayer had never failed to remind me of the Lord's powerful love and protection for me. So here's my version:

Psalm 91- ASSURANCE OF GOD’S PROTECTION

You who turn to the Lord at all times, in good and bad
All praise and thanks to Him, be it happy or sad
You who place your trust in His everlasting love,
Have placed yourself in His strong loving arms of care

People will plot against you and watch you stumble
Evil lurks around you and await your blunder
But in that lowly second of doubt and confusion
Call out to Him and He will not fail you

He will cover you with his wholesome protection
Keep you safe from every danger
Misery will leave you and joy you will find
In your hearts burning brightly for in there the Lord will shine

The Lord is my protector, and I have nothing to fear
Praise and Glory to His mighty power
By my side, He is always here
