Psalms from a woman's heart - Psalm 93:3-5

The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
My anxiety arises and threatens to drown me, O Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice;
The laundry/unfinished nursery/housework, take your pick, they are all crying out;
The floods lift up their waves.
All that needs to be done is about to overtake me.
The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters,
than all the worries on my mind,
than the mighty waves of the sea.
they will not overtake me.
Your testimonies are very sure;
You have promised to be with me in everything.  You have proven yourself to me time and time again.  I know I can trust you to be with me even now.
Holiness adorns your house,
As you are with me, in my house, make it holy - set apart - for you.  Bring peace in it, even when it seems like a stable.  I know you can dwell - even there. 
Oh Lord, forever.

Psalms from a woman's heart - Psalm 93:1

The Lord reigns,
He has it all together and under control.
He is clothed with majesty;
His inward control even shows itself outwardly.  He is perfectly put together.
The Lord is robed in majesty
The Lord is clothed!!  That is an accomplishment in itself for me somedays!
He has girded himself with strength.
He takes care of himself!!  I don't have to clothe him or take care of him!  How exciting! I have a relationship with someone who doesn't need me!  I don't have to take care of him...at all!! He can take care of himself, and even more, He can take care of me!!!!
Surely the world is established, so that it can not be moved.
What freedom and peace.  Thank you Jesus!
