Tune: Lucy
('O Lord of every shining constellation')
Psalm 31 v.14-24 parts
********
I trusted in you, O Lord, I said, You are
My God, my times are in your hand, not far
Are you from me, save me from my enemies
And from they who
And from they who my persecutors be
Make your face to shine here upon your servant
Save me for your mercies sake to me sent
Let me not be ashamed, O Lord, for I have
Called upon you
Called upon you, come help me, come me save
O how great is your goodness, which you have laid
Up for them that fear you, it be strong, staid
You have wrought it for them that trust you before
The sons of men
The sons of men, they have confidence sure
O love the Lord, all you His saints, He preserves
The faithful, and plentiful in reserves
Is He, be of good courage, He shall strengthen
Your heart, all you
Your heart, all you that hope in Him midst men

A hymn, a poem, a prayer three wrapped into one. This indeed sounds very Old Testament Orchi. Nicely done
Thank you SB. I've left out some 'curses upon enemies' type of verses. I shouldn't really leave them out, but they don't make for 'nice' hymn-poems!
You are most welcome my friend those curses verses remind me of the expanded verses of Glory Glory Hallelujah
You live in terror orf that geezer up there, doncha?
Thank you D. 'Fear' in olden sense means awe, reverence, respect, etc.
Do ya check up with Google and a coupla online dictionaries before ya send off yer prayers?
I love your hymn- poems....so nice to read them especially on a Sunday.
Thank you D.
Beautiful, my friend. Well done.
Question, do you hear that? And, with all of that glugging, what is in plentiful reserves? DON'T ANSWER THAT! Bring the brolly though! ☔️🤣 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. Oh no! Why did I mention 'reserves'. It's got them glugging now. lol.
LOL! I know, right?!?! As soon as I got there I thought, "now I get what those dang gluggers are glugging in glugging gluggertime." Gee Whiz! Or is that Cheese Whiz...one can never tell! 🤮🤣
Well written, as always
Thank you F.
