Rise and Fall of People


Psalm 33:11 & 12

The counsel of the Lord stands an eternity,
With thoughts of His heart to you and me;
So bless the nation whose God is the Lord,
As long as their people have not ignored;
For the chosen will have an inheritance,
But whoever turn away expect pestilence.
It's interesting to think some on the earth,
Seem to be blessed more since their birth;
Some prosper others not how it can baffle,
So strange that thought that we are equal;
Empires grow so great then fall and tumble,
A possibility of they did not remain humble;
God is looking at all who on earth do dwell,
Living up in the mountains down in the dell;
He sees all their works both good and bad,
Of pleasing things and what makes him sad;
Those who have suffered and began to pray,
Ones who prospered then have turned away;
Their humbleness has been replace by pride,
God will avenge those who no longer abide.
