Let Our Experience Be That Of The Poor And The Humble

"I will praise YAHWEH all my days;
HIS praise will be ever on my lips.
My soul makes its boast in YAHWEH;
let the lowly hear and rejoice.

Oh, let us magnify YAHWEH ;
together, let us glorify HIS name!
I sought YAHWEH, and HE answered me;
from all my fears HE delivered me.

They who look to HIM are radiant with joy,
their faces never clouded with shame.
When the poor cry out, YAHWEH hears
and saves them from distress.

YAHWEH's angel encamps and patrols,
to keep safe those who fear HIM.
Oh, see and taste the goodness of YAHWEH!
Blessed is the one who finds shelter in HIM!"
- Psalm 34:2-9

(This is a song for martyrs: the LORD sets them free from all their terrors.  It is also a song for the small martyrdoms of every day, whether volunteered or simply accepted.  

Let our experience be that of the poor and the humble.  GOD is near to those who have no other support but HIM.  When there will be no assurance, GOD will be obliged, to take charge of those to whom HE owes fidelity.)
