How it appears in the Bible…<\/p>\n
Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies<\/p>\n
Psalm 13<\/p>\n
1 How long, O LORD? Wilt thou forget me
\nfor ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
\n2 How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
\nHow long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
\n3 Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep
\nof death;
\n4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him”; lest my foes rejoice because I
\nam shaken.
\n5 But I have trusted in thy steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in thy
\nsalvation.
\n6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.<\/p>\n
[Ps 13,1-6]<\/p>\n

A modern transformation of Psalm 13…<\/p>\n
Psalm XIII.<\/p>\n
Do not get bitter
\nand do not recriminate. It is not smart.
\nWhom can you compare yourself to anyway?
\nIf you have sorrow do not hug it to you.
\nYou will just be a closed door to Good things.
\nWhatever race you are trying to win,
\nlet second place be as good as first.
\nThen first place is no better than second.
\nIf you rely on first place all the time
\nyou are going to be always angry.
\nDo not make an enemy of yourself.
\nFind a Good feeling.<\/p>\n

And now the Divine Feminine version, “transformed” Dec 13, 2010 by poet Wynn Manners:<\/p>\n
Sophia Psalm 13<\/p>\n
My Heart Rejoices in Your Love<\/p>\n
1. Ever You are near me, Beloved. Nowhere can i go where You are not near, for
\ni carry You in my heart as You clasp me close in Yours.<\/p>\n
2. Each day i pay close attention to You, my awareness of this love deepens &
\nYour Presence becomes even more meaningful to me. i am breath of Your Breath,
\nlife of Your Life, a unique seeing of Your Essence of Being, You Who are
\nmanifest as All that IS.<\/p>\n
3. There is no hiding Your Face from me. Thru *every* face i see You seeing
\nme! There is no hiding *from* You. Where can i flee when You are All that IS,
\nencompassing me?!<\/p>\n
4. Whenever i see any as my “enemy” i have lost the freeflow of our deeper
\nconnectivity.<\/p>\n
5. How can i forget You when You are the first conscious breath of my
\nawakening? How can You forget me when You brought me forth, in love, *from*
\nYour Love?<\/p>\n
6. When pain is upon me… physically… mentally\/emotionally… it can only
\ndraw me nearer to You… & i know, with the whole of my being, that *You* are
\nfeeling it too… for i am a part of You, as You are the *all* of me & *more*.<\/p>\n
7. My heart rejoices in Your steadfast love & sings its joy in the blessings of
\nYour bountifulness.<\/p>\n

\nit speaks more meaningfully to *you*, relative to *your* relationship with
\nGoddess. And if you do so, feel free to share it *here* — since it will likely
\nspeak more meaningfully to *others*, too.<\/p>\n
\nthey do to me (in largest part), see what *you* can do with them, rewriting them
\nto a Divine Feminine perspective.<\/p>\n
\nprefer not to be influenced by them, but include them because he certainly did
\nhis version of this project long before i began a similar attempt, all these
\nyears later… & i’m sure that his versions will speak more meaningfully to
\nseveral than do those first versions from about 2 & a half thousand years ago.<\/p>\n
\nthe PISTIS SOPHIA, & are among Pistis Sophia’s Repentances.<\/p>\n
\nsimilar-type transformations of even more ancient Egyptian hymns. i’ve
\ncertainly noticed there’s no real difference in a lot of the sentiments being
\nexpressed… & noted, a couple decades ago, that it would be *very* easy to turn
\nsome of those ancient Egyptian hymns into Biblical Psalms just by altering the
\nName(s) of the deity\/deities & changing some of the uniquely Egyptian imagery to
\nJewish imagery.<\/p>\n
