John and all the Doves,
I was led the other night to convert to Psalm, a prayer of King David at the end of his life from 2 Samuel 22:2 tru 2 Samuel 23:7...it was quite a blessing to me and speaks to the last days in a very supernatural way, once again showing David's humility before God and the simplicity with which he prophesied. Once again every one of us must find the capacity to worship one on one with our Heavenly Father and the Psalms of David are the "perfect" form. Feel free to access my paraphrased and modernized versions of the Scottish Psalter at this link...since they are in "common meter", you may choose a tune of your own liking or leading of the Holy Spirit(or you mat use the one God gave to me at the fallowing Youtube channel, your brother, Chris K.

...and the 2 Samuel 2 Psalm: (Sorry, the rhyme is less than perfect to maintain scriptural accuracy)
2Sa 22:2-3
Yahweh my rock, and my fortress,
He's my deliverer, mine!
And God, my rock, in Him I will
take refuge: in Him hide.
My shield and horn of salvation,
Refuge Yeshuah is,
in my high tower my savior will
from vi'lence rescue me
2Sa 22:4
I will call upon Jehovah,
who's worthy to be praised:
So shall Yeshuah rescue me,
from enemies will save.
2Sa 22:5-6
The waves of death encompassed me; Floods of ungodliness,
made me afraid; the cords of hell
around about me were
-------------------------------------------------
2Sa 22:7
In my distress I called upon
my father Jehovah;
I called unto my God: And he
from Heaven heard my voice
2Sa 22:8
Out from His temple, to my cry,
His ears he did apply
The earth did tremble and did shake
foundations of the sky
2Sa 22:9
The Heavens shaken were because
His anger and His wrath
There went up smoke, His nostrils from
Fire from His mouth there went
2Sa 22:10
Embers and coals were kindled by
the torrents from His mouth
The Heavens bowed down very low
Thick darkness 'neath His feet
------------------------------------------------
2Sa 22:11
He rode upon a cherubim
upon the Clouds did fly;
Yea, he was seen upon the wings;
the wind and tempest high.
2Sa 22:12
And he made darkness dwellings of; Pavillions 'round Himself,
Gathering together waters who,
thick Clouds above the sky
2Sa 22:13-14
And as His brightness went before,
there coals of fire did spark
Jehovah thundered from heaven,
Yahweh uttered his voice.
2Sa 22:15
He sent out arrows, scatt'ring them; Lightning, thundered about.
His enemies He over-threw
He all of them did route
----------------------------------------------
2Sa 22:16
Then channels of the sea appeared,
the worlds foundations bared
By the rebuke of Jehovah,
the breath His nostrils blast
2Sa 22:17-18
He sent down from on high, took me;
drew me out from the depths;
Delivered me from enemies,
From them that hated me;
2Sa 22:19
for they were too mighty for me.
They came upon me strong;
In the day of calamity;
Jehovah was my stand.
2Sa 22:20
He brought me forth to liberty;
Delivered me because;
delighting in my inocence
put His right hand on me
----------------------------------------------
2Sa 22:21
Yahweh rewards according to,
Yahshuah's righteousness;
According to how clean my hands
He has me recompensed .
2Sa 22:22
For I have kept the ways of Yah,
And from them not depart
Nor from the pathways of my God,
have taken from my heart.
2Sa 22:23
For all his ordinances were
before me ever are.
His statutes ever dwell with me,
nor from them am afar.
2Sa 22:24
Also was I perfect toward him;
And I kept myself from
mine iniquity, and hid myself
from those unfaithful ones
--------------------------------------------
2Sa 22:25
And Jehovah has recompensed according to my right,
According to my walk therewith
within Yeshuah's sight.
2Sa 22:26-27
With mercy you are merciful;
With perfect men perfect;
And for the pure, you are most pure; Perverse ones see thy angst!
2Sa 22:28
And the afflicted ones you save;
But thine eyes are upon;
The haughty, that you bring them down.
to their own destruction.

You are my lamp, O Jehovah;
that lightens the whole world.
And Jehovah will there shine forth
My darkness He dispells.

For in Yeshuah I will stand
amidst my enemies;
And by my God do hurdle high,
the boundries before me.
2Sa 22:31
As for my Fathers perfect ways:
The WORD of God is tried;
He is a shield unto all them,
in refuge do Him hide.
2Sa 22:32-33
For who is God, save Jehovah?
Who is our rock, but Yah?
Jehovah is my strong fortress;
The perfect ones He'll guide.

He maketh his feet like hinds' feet, And sets them upon high
He teaches my heart how to fight,
to shatter bows of brass.

of thy Yeshuah's name;
Thy gentleness hath made me great.
Thy lamb of God whose slain.

That my feet have not slipped.
My enemies became my prey;
and sought them all through it.

I have consumed and smitten them,
so that they cannot rise:
Yea, they are fallen 'neath my feet.
no more before my eyes.

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle made;
Thou hast subdued those under me them that rose against me.
--------------------------------------------------
2Sa 22:41
And thou has made mine enemies,
to turn their backs to me,
That I might cut them off that hate
God's own anointed one.
2Sa 22:42
They looked, but there was none to save;
And called to Jehovah,
But he answered them not.Then did
beat them small as the dust.
2Sa 22:43-44
I crushed them as the mire of streets, and did them spread abroad.
Thou has also delivered me
from striving people of;
Thou hast kept me to be the head
of nations them among:
A people whom I have not known,
will sevice do your Son.

And strangers shall submit themselves,
unto your chosen ones:
As soon as they have heard of us,
obedience will come.

And fearfully reveal,
Themselves, out from their hiding place.
no more they will conceal.

be my rock and stay;
Exalted is Jehovah God,

His vengeance there for me,
And that brings down in subjection,
Thy people unto thee.

O Jehovah, among
the nations, And will sing thy praise unto thy name in song.

His king, And shows him love

The God of Israel has spoke,
His word upon my tongue.

To me my rock did speak:
One that rightly rule over men,
That reigns in fear of God,

as when the sun does rise.
A clear and cloudless morning when,
the tender grass does spring,
2Sa 23:5
Out of the earth, and shining through
when after showers bring,
And though my house has trouble born,
A cov'nant He has made.
2Sa 23:5
An everlasting covenant
He made with me thats sure.
A plan He set in Yeshuah,
Afflictions there to know.
----------------------------------------
2Sa 23:6
But the ungodly shall be all
as thorns that thrust away,
Because they cannot taken be,
so by the hand of man;
2Sa 23:7
But the man that does touch them must,
be armed with iron and spear.
And they shall utterly be burned
with fire, right where they stand.
