Psalm 24—Who Hoped Her Way Through Long Years, Black and Bird-Boned as the Limbs of Winter

Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Youtube.

Rendition

The earth and all its fullness is the Lord’s:
The landed pillars of the deep,
The thrumming, captured seas,
The rivers rising from the holy ground—
Are all still his.

Who can find a home on your mountain?
Who can stand inside your holy place
With head high and a whole heart?
The one who held the coal and felt the firekiss;
Who greets God in every lesser love;
Who hoped her way through long years,
Black and bird-boned as the limbs of winter.
Whose laugh broke in rich beams,
Loud and wild as it would.

Lift up every last lost gate.
Open every angel-hemmed door.
The king of glory is coming in,
The resurrected world in step behind him.
