Psalm for the Broken

August 10, 2026

You are close to the brokenhearted

Jehovah protect her Guide her disquieted heart And give her 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 her tonight to find The quiet glen of hope And see through time To your day of golden life

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

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

And she, a warrior among us Is the force of life we need A Deborah in the pause Before the war

Oh, Jehovah! Do not forget Your lowly one who tries So hard and never quits This lovely soldier of your large army
