 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

poetryofadove

Righteous are You O Lord,

Being right are Your rules;

Your judgments You afford,

Divide us from the fools.

 

Your testaments command,

Faithfulness appointed;

While placing Your hand,

The humbled anointed.

 

My zeal has consumed me,

Since foes forget Your Word;

They scoff at Your decree,

Their closed ears have not heard.

 

Your promise is well tried,

Your Word is very pure;

It cannot be denied,

As Your servant is sure.

 

I am small and despised,

Yet remember Your Law;

Your precepts are devised,

Avoid getting a flaw.

 

Righteousness forever,

Because Your Law is true;

Changeless not to sever,

For mankind to construe.

 

Found anguish and trouble,

But Your Law my delight;

Since I do not languish,

Evil not in my sight.

 

Righteousness ever last,

Construed that I may live;

No dark shadow will cast,

The peace that You will give.
