Psalm

God, I am in deep.
help.
I can't get out.
I've tried.
I am a self-inflicted victim of sin.

that grace so free and powerful--
can it be?
my sin is too steep,
my heart too hardened by the
consequences of this flaw.

the world is constantly evil,
turns to dust in my mouth.
where is the end?
its pattern becomes mine,
its folly my wisdom.
where is the end?

there is nowhere to go.
God, be my refuge.
my sin pursues me,
it chases me all day long.
I am never safe.

Shepherd, save me
from the wolves surrounding.
I miss your words.
your whispering is better than life.

undo my heart of knots.
teach me the straight way again.
fill my gaping hole,
remove my basest traits,
restore me to your worship.
