Psalm 54—He will not leave me alone, stranded, strangled, and caught.
"Fly toward me, God. I am hidden here awaiting the last thing that could save me."
Fly toward me, God. I am hidden here Awaiting the last thing That could save me. Hear me, God. My only thoughts Are prayers. My only hope Is that you would answer And rush to my side. I am hunted by people I don’t know. I am sought by those who Seek to take my life. Yet, I have set God before me, My last long hope. My God is my help. If I lean my needs onto him, He will not disappoint me. He will not leave me alone, stranded, Strangled, and caught. I wish that evil would collapse Back on those who did evil to me. I wish their lies would fall To pieces beneath the weight Of your vaster truth. So here I am. Ready To sacrifice, ready to praise. I know that you will end the story When it ought to be ended And not before. I know that you have saved me And will again.

These lines are really resonating today —
“My God is my help.
If I lean my needs onto him,
He will not disappoint me.”
