Psalm 57 Alive in The Spirit

Psalm 57 verses 7-9
THE MESSAGE // REMIX
the Bible in Contemporary Language.

I'm ready,  God,  so ready,
ready from head to toe,
Ready to sing,  ready to raise a tune:
   "Wake up,  harp !  Wake up lute !
         Wake up ,  you sleepyhead sun !"
I'm thanking you God,  out loud in the streets,
     singing your praises in town and country. 

There is nothing dull or tedious here
nothing dreary to induce boredom !
Wouldn't you choose to work with people so motivated,
so eager, so fully alive to the Lord our God,
so in tune with His purposes,
so in harmony with His love!
    In this translation of Psalm 57
We can reflect on the eagerness of the Psalmist.....
not just an academic compliance.......
The psalmist is inspired,  animated by the Spirit of God.
May all of us who call ourselves Christians
find life in the same Spirit.
