Open My Ears, God
“Mine ears Thou hast opened…” Psalm 40:6
The Hebrew word for “opened” is “digged.”
Eugene Peterson writes in Eat This Book: That these words literally mean “ears Thou hast dug for me. The psalm’s poet was bold to imagine God swinging a pickax, digging ears in our granite blockheads so that we can hear, really hear, what He speaks to us.”
Open my ears, God. Dig away at all that keeps me from hearing You.
