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

        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!
