Adaptation of Psalm 19: 14-16

The NIV Psalm 91:14 - 16 is:  “Because she has set her love upon me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue her.  I will protect her for she acknowledges my name.  She will call upon me, and I will answer her; I will be with her in trouble.  I will deliver her and honor her.  With long life will I satisfy her, and show her my salvation.”My adaptation (using interlinear text and personalizing the verses) is:Because you have set your love upon me I will rescue you. That suggests I will set you securely on high , so high you can’t be captured, but you will be exalted.This protection comes because you “yada” me. Beloved, that means you know me intimately like a married person, and call out my name.  In fact, you don’t just call, but you cry out for me; you shout a summons to me. I’m answering you!My rescue attempts include my pulling you away, removing you from danger, AND equipping you, even to the point where you may plunder the enemy.And I honor you, making your presence weighty, so you carry influence wherever you go. You will not be satisfied simply, but you will be sated, absolutely fulfilled with abundant excess.And then, Dear One, you will see my yeshuwah, He who is your salvation.In Christ,
