Give ear to my word, O guide, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my inspiration and my divinity, for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O guide. In the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee and will look up.
Text Notes
- The Hebrew text anthropomorphizes as "King" in verse two. In these psalms for meditation, the key personal sense of "inspiration" is sometimes used.
Reflection
"Consider my meditation". To the ancient Hebrews, meditation was not so much a placid state as a heartfelt cry. And a focus on "my inspiration and my divinity." In meditation, I want to connect to Spirit, for my cry to be heard, to know the divinity of love. This is real prayer!
