Hope Of Help

orchidee



Tune: Binchester

('Happy are they, they that love God')

Psalm 54

**********

Save me, O God, by your name do

It always good and true

And judge me by your strength I pray

Show me mercy alway

 

Hear my prayer, O God, now give ear

To words of my mouth here

For strangers and oppressors rise

They seek my soul with lies

 

They have not set God before their

Eyes, not His graces share

But, Behold, God is my helper

And to me does confer

 

The Lord is with them that uphold

My soul, sustain it bold

Evil reward to enemies

This shall be their lot, see

 

I will free sacrifice to you

Your name, LORD, praise anew

For it is good, He delivered

Me, and to my help stirred

 

Brought me out of all my trouble

Kept me, I did not fall

And my eye has seen His desire

On my enemies dire

                • Suresh

                  A subject I have trouble reconciling.
                  So I'll leave it there.

                  But, the thoughts and words are serene.

                  • orchidee

                        • orchidee

                          Oh, so you are in need of help then. Best wishes - get well soon. Sometimes my poems themes are random, not always how I may feel personally on a certain day.

                          • ron parrish aka wordman

                            yeah,i know open heart surgery

                            • orchidee

                              Best wishes Ron. As this Psalm says 'The Lord is with them that uphold my soul' , so he is with us both, as I 'uphold' you in a prayer or two! 🙂

                              • ron parrish aka wordman
