Andy, I really appreciate your intro paragraphs about publishing digitally, getting feedback, and doing rewrites. That's what writers do! Kathie Evenhouse

Thank you for this! Maybe I’m missing something, but should it say “I now walk the long road…” instead of “I know walk…”?

Good catch! Changed. Thanks, Kristen.

The long road, yes!

Come boldly before the Lord.

I transcribed by hand many of your Psalms. But not the original of this one. I had to look back several places to make sure. I look forward to seeing if any of the others may undergo a transformation and I'm glad that I have them to compare but I'm sad, a little, to wonder what the previous version of Psalm 13 by you was.

The previous versions looked a lot more like the psalm in the ESV with slightly different language. I was more focused on the poem that used to accompany the psalm rendition back then. These days, I dropped the separate poem and instead I’m making the psalms more… poem-y.
