Tune: Deus Tuorum Militum
('Awake, awake, fling off the night')
Psalm 25 v.15-22
********
My eyes are ever to the Lord
For He shall save me, true His word
Shall untangle my feet from net
Which enemies lay for me yeat
Turn unto me. and have mercy
I desolate, afflicted be
Lonely, and troubles of my heart
They seem enlarged in every part
O bring me out of distresses
My affliction, pains do not miss
And forgive all my sin, restore
Me, and grant me your peace e'ermore
Consider my enemies, they
Hate me, are violent in their day
O keep my soul, deliver me
Trusting, let me not ashamed be
Let integrity, uprightness
Preserve me, by your grace me bless
For I here wait in faith on you
Redeem us from all troubles do

Great poem
Thanks Dave.
if I'm not mistaken. this is another hymn poem ....................... 🙂
Thanks N. Yep, sure is. You flung off that night? You needing any help to get out of a net (verse 1) -
only if you're going fishing?! lol.
The cool thing about your poems is that they're kept to a strict meter. So instead of a full sentence, little words represent several words at a time. It's a riddle to be solved; A question to be answered. It's unique, and your level of dedication always astounds me. Think I'll write about it.
Thanks N.
Well, I read that technically 'meter' includes accents on some of the syllables. I'm not that clever to be able to do that, so I call it 'format' now instead.
I aim to explain if words seem too 'spiritual' or obscure, such as 'man' meaning 'mankind' often.
I mean - I can't say 'men' and leave out women and children!
✨✨once again a good poem orchidee
Thanks Chris.
