David wrote this song when he made the Philistine king think that he was crazy. He wanted the king to send him away.
God is great!
1 I will always praise the Lord.
All the time I will sing to praise him.
2 I will boast that the Lord is great!
I want weak people to hear that.
I want them to be happy!
3 Join with me to tell people that the Lord is great!
Together we will make his name famous.
4 I asked the Lord to help me,
and he answered me.
He saved me from everything that made me afraid.
5 People who trust the Lord to help them
will be very happy.
Their faces will be bright,
and they will not be ashamed.
6 I was weak and helpless,
so I called out to the Lord.
The Lord heard me.
He saved me from all my troubles.
7 The Lord's angel is very near
to people who respect and obey the Lord.
He keeps them safe from danger.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good!
God blesses people who turn to him
to keep them safe.
9 All you people who belong to the Lord,
continue to obey him.
People who respect the Lord
will have the things that they need.
10 Even young lions may not have food,
so that they become hungry.
But people who trust the Lord for help
will receive every good thing that they need.
11 Children, come and listen to me!
I will teach you how to respect the Lord.
12 Do you want to live a good life?
Do you want your life to be long and happy?
13 If so, do not speak any evil words.
Do not tell lies to deceive people.
14 Do good things instead of evil things.
Try to bring peace into people's lives.
15 The Lord watches over righteous people.
He hears them when they call to him for help.
16 But the Lord turns against people who do evil things.
He causes everybody to forget that they ever lived.
17 The Lord hears his righteous people
when they call for help.
He saves them from all their troubles.
18 When people are upset,
the Lord is near to them.
He saves those who feel very weak and upset.
19 Righteous people may often have troubles,
but the Lord saves them from every danger.
20 The Lord keeps them safe.
Not even one of their bones is broken!
21 Evil things will return to kill wicked people.
Whoever hates God's own people
will receive punishment.
22 The Lord saves the lives of his servants.
Everyone who trusts the Lord to keep them safe
will not receive punishment as a guilty person.

Do you prefer giving or receiving oral sex?
I prefer ascending to the heights of astral projection, grasping the eternal call from Selene and ejecting my righteous rays onto the populous

Righteous
The Bible is full of stories about amazing people. Towering figures that do great things.
I’m not even talking about Jesus. I’m thinking of Old Testament prophets, John the Baptist, St. Paul. People who are larger than life.
The constant focus on people like that? It can leave us with the impression that unless we blaze across history like Elijah or Joan of Arc, maybe we’re not doing it right. That is, if we really believed, that if we really lived the Faith, our lives would look like that.
That we’re not good enough. Because our lives don’t look like that.
I have heard things like this from kind, loving, faithful people. People who are questioning their faith, questioning their relationship with God. Because their lives don’t blaze across history.
Which is why Simeon is so important.
Today’s Gospel gives us a brief glimpse into his life. Simeon isn’t a towering figure. He doesn’t blaze across history.
And yet, God chose Simeon to deliver His message to the Holy Family.
At this point, Mary and Joseph are still kind of stunned from everything that’s happened. The Holy Family really isn’t the Holy Family just yet.
It’s a month after all of the overwhelming…everything around the Birth of Jesus. Mary and Joseph are doing what they’re supposed to, following the law. Sure, they’re going through the motions. But they’re kind of wobbly at this point.
They’re like, was that real? Did all of that really happen?
So who does God send, to remind them of what that was all about? To encourage them. To bring them back to their calling to be the Holy Family.
Simeon.
All we know about Simeon is that he is righteous. Which means what?
Which means that Simeon is trying to walk with God. And when he stumbles, when he fails, he gets back up. And tries again. That’s what it means to be righteous.
Being righteous isn’t about being perfect. It’s about not giving up.
Being righteous is about getting up one more time than you fall down.
It’s something the Church is so into that we even have a sacrament that’s all about trying again after you fail. About letting God lovingly help you pick up the pieces after it all falls apart.
If you want to know who’s close to God, this is it. The righteous. Not the perfect, but the ones who try. The ones who get up one more time than they fall.
That’s who God sent to the Holy Family. That’s who God trusted with a message of encouragement for the people who would soon need to flee for their lives, to protect God’s Son.
That’s who God is calling you to be.
God isn’t calling you to be perfect. God is calling you to be righteous. To try. To get up one more time than you fall down.
To be wise enough to let God lovingly help you pick up the pieces after it all falls apart.
That is what it means to have a living Faith.
That is who God is calling you to be.

103 - The God Engine
Shadows mount on walls opposite the path
And from two floors above;
So these wandering eyes spy in search of a god.
And gods need thrones, thrones of gold,
Some of old, some of souls,
Or so I’m told, upon which to ponder, to create.
Once benevolent, malevolent now, so “wicked’s” the name,
And damned be those that love below;
This sanctity spurned and acts lessening abundant.
These gods become, these gods anger, canker, ply,
And flaunt for the fruitful, someday forgotten,
When death’s kiss greets a more frail finger.
Little did the deities divine and kiss immortality,
Instead, hubris, they became lesser and the fooled
It was a truest eternity, it was this -
The lovers and righteousness discovered.
- Hathaway Hayes (2024)

By David when he pretended to be insane in the presence of Abimelech; Abimelech threw him out, so David left.
1 I will thank Yahweh at all times.
My mouth will always praise him.
2 My soul will boast about Yahweh.
Those who are oppressed will hear it and rejoice.
3 Praise Yahweh’s greatness with me.
Let us highly honor his name together.
4 I went to Yahweh for help.
He answered me and rescued me from all my fears.
5 All who look to him will be radiant.
Their faces will never be covered with shame.
6 Here is a poor man who called out.
Yahweh heard him and saved him from all his troubles.
7 The Messenger of Yahweh camps around those who fear him,
and he rescues them.
8 Taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the person who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear Yahweh, you holy people who belong to him.
Those who fear him are never in need.
10 Young lions go hungry and may starve,
but those who seek Yahweh’s help have all the good things they need.
11 Come, children, listen to me.
I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
12 Which of you wants a full life?
Who would like to live long enough to enjoy good things?
13 Keep your tongue from saying evil things
and your lips from speaking deceitful things.
14 Turn away from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it!
15 Yahweh’s eyes are on righteous people.
His ears hear their cry for help.
16 Yahweh confronts those who do evil
in order to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.
17 Righteous people cry out.
Yahweh hears and rescues them from all their troubles.
18 Yahweh is near to those whose hearts are humble.
He saves those whose spirits are crushed.
19 The righteous person has many troubles,
but Yahweh rescues him from all of them.
20 Yahweh guards all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil will kill wicked people,
and those who hate righteous people will be condemned.
22 Yahweh protects the souls of his servants.
All who take refuge in him will never be condemned.
