Psalm for the Broken

August 10, 2026

You are close to the brokenhearted

Jehovah protect us Guide our disquieted hearts And give us your peace That excels all thought

Oh my God, these times are critical, Desperate—and we, as you know, Are doing our best.

But the pressure is beginning To fissure our bodies Our minds and our souls

Help us tonight to find The quiet glen of hope And see through time To your day of golden life

Jehovah, do not let us flounder Or fear—let not guilt's weight Crush or break us apart Draw close to good souls

And salve the disquiet Soothe the painful wounds And prop up a tired mind For there is so much work to do

For the warriors among us are the force of life we need Deborahs in the pause Before the war

Oh, Jehovah! Do not forget Your lowly ones who try So hard and never quit We lovely soldiers of your large army
