Psalm 73

Rewritten by Lydia Ireri

1.Surely, God is great to His creation, those who stand in purity.
2.But as for me, Lydia Ireri, my heart had nearly lost a beat!
3.For I admired the evil ones, when I saw them flourish by humiliating my being.
4.They have no conscience, they destroy the breath of God.
5.They are free from daily struggles, pain and hurt. They sleep till dawn after they execute their wicked plot.
6.Therefore, arrogance is their wedding ring, They clothe themselves with disguised violence.
7.From their malicious hearts throb evil, they have no limits.
8.They speak with malice. In their pride they threaten oppression.
9.They preach water and drink wine.
10.Therefore, their neighbors live in abundance.
11.In their closets they say, "Can God really stop us? Does the most high has power?”
12.They are always free. No debt, no struggles their way!
13.Surely, in vain I've kept my heart pure, in vain I have washed my hands in innocence.
14.All I have known is pain, with no genuine help my way!
15.If I had said, " I can't push on any longer, I'd would have betrayed my promise to you oh Lord, again"
16.When I slept at midnight trying to figure out my state, I spent countless fruitless days.
17.Not until the Lord searched my heart through His word, then I understood their destiny
18.Surely, their prosperity is like grass and not water!
19.In draught they'll be no more!
20.As the dawn cometh, their light, like darkness will be swallowed by your light oh Lord!
21.When my eyes were soaked in tears all day and night 
22.I was blinded and shortsighted, I was a burden to you and your work oh Lord!
23.Yet my heart is always for you, your love is not limited to my flaws
24.You love me with your everlasting love, you sent your only son Jesus Christ to die for my sins and He rose again. Finally I'll join you in glory.
25.Whom have I on Earth but you? And the Earth has nothing I desire besides you...
26.My courage and desire may fail, but my God will order my steps for ever
27.The tired at heart will be destroyed, You will spare them no more.
28.But as for me in my weaknesses, I will draw closer to you day and night, for I have made you my fortress, I'll carry your crown to the end of the earth!
