Psalm 139 Project Vs. 22

Verse 22
I hate them with the utmost hatred,
They have become my enemies.

Easy-To-Read Version - I hate them completely! Your enemies are also my enemies
Good News Translation - I hate them with a total hatred; I regard them as my enemies.

Injustice abounds
The news attests
Containers of people
Like cattle
Innocents slaughtered
Lives bought and sold
Commodities
To be owned
Children hungry and starved for
Food and attention

Injustice abounds
Enemies of
What Love stands for
What Love died for

Injustice abounds
And creates
A fire
Inside
A call
To respond
To stand up
To fight the enemies
Of Love

Injustice produces
A holy wrath
Which catches
My weakness
And strengthens
My weakest heart

Injustice abounds

Bringing injustice
To its knees
Requires a hatred
Of all that is against
Love
Requires a hatred
Of all that allows
Abuses and violations and
Purposeful oppression

That holy wrath
Fuels
Change
Fuels
Liberty and Freedom
Fuels
Light and Love
Fuels
All that injustice can never  be


Becoming an enemy 
Of injustice
Strengthens
Loves 
Resolve
