The Psalm of Myself

My Chains Are Set Free
A Psalm of Mindy

1. O God, remove the High Places and Idol worship,
that have taken me captive.
And again impart the protection that has been lifted
due to my disobedience.

2. May my victories no longer make me proud toward the less victorious,
but instead my knees humbly bend in thanksgiving.
Lord God, help me to dress and feed those that I have taken captive,
and set them free, no longer to be my slaves.

3. For now I know what its like to be defeated in battle.
My pride and stubbornness have been my stumbling block,
I have fallen victim to death’s trap
Lord, free me from my captivity as well.

4. My shovel has hit the slate floor below me,
and I can dig no deeper.
My only way out of this pit is to look up to you O God,
For I have proven to be incapable of saving myself.

5. How much longer will I have to endure?
For the darkness I’m in has left me blind.
To look upon light brings pain to my eyes,
And a groaning to my soul.

6. How easily I am entangled, and bound to chains.
Only you can come to my rescue.
Hear my prayer O Lord! Free me from this captivity
and bring me safe in your arms.

7. May I no longer be as those of the house of Israel,
but help me to recognize a foreign yoke.
May I now thank you God that my misery is led to liberty
And in the future not be taken by the enemy’s hook.

8. For you are the one true God, Lord of all!
Rekindle the fire that was once within me.
Set ablaze the passion inside of me.
So that I may return to my first true love.
