Comforting Concerns

orchidee



Tune: Melcombe

('New every morning is the love')

Psalm 138 v.6-8

*********

Though the Lord be high, He does see

And has respect to the lowly

But the proud He knows from afar

He not near them, the Morning Star

 

Though I am in midst of troubles

You will revive me, I your calls

Do hear, and you will stretch your hand

Against enemies in the land

 

You will quench their wrath and bring peace

Your help to me it shall not cease

Your hand shall save me, me up raise

And I shall offer to you praise

 

The Lord will complete here for me

That which does concern me, so be

Your mercy, Lord, endures for e'er

O forsake me not, leave me ne'er

    although the title was initially read as a contradiction in terms .. that was entirely down to me and my recklessness .. having slowed down a bit, I quite got into this and can believe that there are those who might well find these words a source of some comfort .. Neville

      A comforting thank you N.

      While I am not religious, I am often moved by the raw sincerity of your poem-hymns. Lovely to have a god that will rather than smite your enemies will quench their wrath...

        Thanks J. It's from the Psalmist's words - and other people in the Bible, if my other poems are not based on the Psalms.

          Yes, but you chose the specific passages to share with us!

              • orchidee

                Thanks SB. I suppose I mean 'Concerns that we need comfort in (or for)'.
