PSALM 103 & THE DIVINE LOVE

In the early morning hour when I pray, I often begin with recitation of remembered Psalms. This practice is not new to me. Some 40 plus years ago, when I was an ordained Christian minister, the Psalms were inspirations to me to pray and to sing and worship the Creator.

However, now that I know the truth of the Divine Love and how it may come into the soul and transform it into a new creation, I use the Psalms, but rewrite them to express my new knowledge of the soul.

One of my favorite Psalms was and still is Psalm 103, the first 5 verses, but now rewritten.

The original version is this:

Bless the Lord, oh my soul,
And all that is within me,
Bless His Holy Name.
Bless the Lord, oh my soul,
And forget not all His benefits.
Who forgives all your iniquities,
And Heals all your diseases.
Who redeems your life from destruction,
And crowns you with loving-kindness
And tender mercies.
Who satisfies your life with good things,
So that your life is renewed like the eagles.

The above Psalm is from memory, so it may not be exact as you may find it in any particular translation of the Bible.

I have revisited Psalm 103.

And so nowadays, when I begin my morning prayers, and before I pray the Prayer for the Divine Love, as an Invocation I may sing or say something similar to the following:

Bless the Divine Love, Oh my soul,
And all that is within me,
Bless the Divine Love of the Father.
Bless the Divine Love, oh my soul,
And forget not all its benefits:

Divine Love removes all my sin and error,
And heals all my sickness and diseases;

It redeems my life from destructive pains and emotions and memories,
And it crowns me with loving-kindness and tender mercies.

It satisfies my life with good things,
And it brings to me new life and new birth,
So I shall evermore be with the Father in His Kingdom.

Divine Love is the greatest thing in all the world;
It is the only thing that will make me at-one with God,
And change my soul as it has existed since its creation,
Into a thing of Divine Substance,
Filled with the Essence of the Father.

Bless the Divine Love, Oh my soul;
Bless the Divine Love of the Father.

May you find blessings and help in a Psalm revisited with Divine Love.
