Restoration of Jerusalem

Purify me from sin with hyssop, and I will be clean
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Create a clean heart in me, O God
and renew a faithful spirit within me.

Do not force me away from Your presence
and do not take Your Holy Spirit fro me.

Restore the joy of Your salvation to me
and provide me with a spirit of willing obedience.

Favor Zion with Your goodness.
Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

I still trust in You

My heart is in turmoil
The terrors of death have seized me
Fear and trembling have overcome me
Horror has overwhelmed me.
I said "If only I had wings like a dove -
I would fly away and find rest'
Indeed, I would run far away
I would stay in the desert
I would hurry to find shelter
from the raging wind and storm

Even when I am afraid...
I still trust You.
