I am nearly finished with the revisions of my psalter. Praying with it gives me chills, wonder, and hope. ♥
Psalm 24 Creation is Thea and all that is in it, the universe and all who dwell therein. For it is she who splashes as the seas and is firm as earth alongside the great rivers. “Who can descend the valley of Thea? and who can stand in her holy place? “Those who have a pure heart, who have not pledged themselves to falsehood, nor sworn by what is a fraud. They shall receive a blessing from Thea and a just reward from the Goddess whose body they are.” Such is the generation of those who seek her, of those who seek your face, O Goddess of Creation. Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting doors; and the Queen of glory shall come in. “Who is this Queen of glory?” “Thea, strong and mighty, Thea, mighty in battle.” Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting doors; and the Queen of glory shall come in. “Who is she, this Queen of glory?” “The Lady of Creation, she is the Queen of glory.” Psalm 25 To you, O Thea, I lift up my flesh; my Goddess, I put my trust in you. Let none who look to you be put to shame; let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes. Show me your ways, O Thea, and teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the Goddess, the breath of my flesh; in you I have trusted all day long. Remember, O Thea, your compassion and love, for they are everlasting. Remember not the wrongdoing of my youth and my transgressions; remember me according to your love and for the sake of your goodness, O Thea. Gracious and upright is Thea; therefore she teaches her Creatures in her ways. She guides the humble in doing right and teaches her way to the lowly. All the paths of Thea are love and faithfulness; the Goddess shows her Creatures her ways. Who are they who are in awe of Thea? she will teach them the way that they should choose. Thea is a friend to those who are in awe of her and will show them her covenant. My eyes are ever looking to Thea, for she shall pluck my feet out of the net. Protect my life and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in you. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for my hope has been in you. Deliver Creation, O Goddess, out of all her troubles. Psalm 26 Give judgment for me, O Thea, for I have lived with integrity; I have trusted in Thea and have not faltered. Test me, O Thea, and try me; examine my heart and my mind. For your love is before my eyes; I have walked faithfully with you. I will wash my hands in innocence, O Thea, that I may go in procession round your altar, Singing aloud a song of thanksgiving and recounting all your wonderful deeds. Thea, I love the house in which you dwell and the place where your glory abides. My foot stands on level ground; in the full assembly I will bless Thea.
