I do not see the Word of God,a "Blind Heart",
Bother not to see its truth,a"Hardened Heart",
No thanks in return what an "Unthankful Heart",
It rains kindness and grace,a "Tender Heart".
Things not of our will make us a"Broken Heart",
I interrupt the growth of Word a "Stony Heart",
Nominal faith chokes the Word,a "Thorny Heart",
Where no weeds, no rocks,a "Goodground Heart".
There the Word gets water, and Lord's sunshine,
Enjoys the very cool breeze of the Holy Spirit,
Everywhere seen green,throbs the heart of mine,
Peace and prosperity obtains harvest of fruit.
When faith stirs,goes away the "Sinful Heart",
Comes to me"heart of hearts" my "Lord's Heart".

O! 2011 Go To Hell !
Indians bid goodbye to Two Thousand Eleven,
With a sigh of relief moaned and groaned,
The year made only hell,not a wished heaven,
Onion and tomato skyrocketing people pained.
The middle class grumbled,came spectrum scam,
Reforms came to still,suffered policy paralysis,
A pitched war on the streets, fought for the dam,
With a free fall of Rupee,nation faced crisis.
No to corruption,with Lokpal came Hazare Anna,
Made the Govt to knees,Govt danced to his tunes,
In white a saffron and disciple of Deshmukh Nana,
Atlast democracy won,mobocracy did only cartoons.
Cruel death snatched Dev Anand and Shami Kapoor,
Lo!Great Steve Jobs and amiable Elezabeth Taylor.

My God Keeps Fully Awake !
My God Almighty never sleeps,
But His loved ones He protects,
My name on His palm,joy leaps,
He remembers ever,never rejects.
My very groaning He hears,
He answers all my prayers,
Ever embraces,never despises,
At hard times,graces He showers.
He makes me head never tail,
He leads me in all my endeavours,
Along with him when I set sail,
There is only joy,no sad hours.
Blesses me with wealth and riches,
His words He keeps never breaches.

Haiku (Damn The Dam)
Damn the dam
Mullaiperiyar in Kerala
Civil war for water.
Trees wither
No more leaves to fall
Fallen states.
Blood run chill
Water a million dollar
Cold winter
Darker days
War on the streets
No sunshine.
No integrity
No nationality
But domestic walls.
Cauvery disrepute
Mullaiperiyar follows suit
National eclipse.
Dams to make
Green to smile all the way
But here deserts.
No water grid
Huge water goes in to sea
Water woes go on.
Interlink rivers
O!Nationalise rivers
See spring blooms.
Armed Forces
If made custodian
O!What a sunshine.

Damn The Dam !
Mullaiperiyar Dam,a national shame,
A pitching war is going on the street,
Oh!Damn the Dam,What a bad name!
Unpatriotic vengeance of drums beat.
By a legal statute,nationalise the river,
Interlink rivers for a smart water way,
No two states be at loggerheads O!never,
If so done greens will smile all the way.
Huge chunk of water goes in to the sea,
Why India to fight for water resources?
Make a water grid for cheer and glee,
Leave water and dams to Armed Forces.
They will guard,manage and harness water,
States will be at peace,no woes for ever.

Rework Your Legs
Not by your own but with "Someone",
Who calls the stars each by its name,
He hears the poor,despises not,no fun,
Your groaning reaches him like flame.
To the broken in heart,he binds up wounds,
May be bound in chains,he only breaks,
He makes you stand upright,grace abounds,
Takes your yoke away,he only delivers.
Your sitting and rising,he only finds,
Your legs that are bare,weak and meek,
He makes them as that of the hinds,
He sets you on high when only you seek.
Rework your tired legs,believe and pray,
Dawn is certain as that of the sun's ray.

Afghan Male And Afghan Female!
Oh!Humanity is not fair in the turbulent land,
Of Afghanistan,to their women men so unkind,
Women stay home deprived of education, stand
Such is the mentality of the Afghan male mind.
Infamous laws forbid women the right to work,
The right to study,the right to free movement,
Widespread discrimination and oppression lurk,
Under conservative veil,women face impairment.
There the women suffer without gender equality,
A community under a serious domestic violence,
Women never utter a word but rue in silence,
Men never bother about their women fraternity.
Women must rise against the violence and terror,
Must see their enslaved true face in the mirror.

Crown And Glory
A voyager on the turbulent high seas,
Braving the perils of strong waves,
Fathoms the bottom for great pearls
Discovered many indeed,not pebbles.
Breath taking exercise of perseverance,
Making it into a real Crown and Glory,
For education,an ennobling presence,
Aims to brighten the dark valley.
The beauty of Rome not built in one day
A pilgrim of many tears who did dream,
To capture the youth,he found out a way,
He rowed his boat gently on the stream.
The book " Crown and Glory of Education "
Fights life's challenges with determination.

Dance Of Death
Gaddafi a Libyan ruler for forty two years,
His rule was brutal,his death was more brutal,
Rebels found everywhere, people shed more tears,
His arrogance and defiance proved to be fatal.
Humbled by the rebels in his own territory,
They rained blows all over his head and body,
A gruesome dance of death,unknown to history,
Shouting and heaping abuses that were gaudy.
His dishevelled hair with blood oozing face,
In the midst of the sound of horrendous gunfire,
They stamped their feet on his body,inhuman race,
Killers were Muslims, they did gloat without fear.
They chanted in joy,great is Allah,Alla ho Akbar,
"We want to see the dog"a cry echoed in the war.

Psalms In Haiku Poems
Psalm-141
I cry unto you
Give ear unto my voice
Make haste unto me.
O Lord set a watch
Before my mouth,keep
The door of my lips.
Incline not my heart
To the wicked let me not
Eat of their dainties.
Let the righteous
Smite me,it shall
Be a kindness.
When their judges,
Overthrown in stony places
They shall hear my word.
My eyes look to you
In you is my trust,leave not
My soul destitute.
Keep me from the snares
Let wicked fall in their net
While I escape
Psalm-142
I cried to the Lord
With my voice to the Lord
Make supplication.
Spirit in distress
Overwhelmed me within
You know my path.
In the way
Wherein I walked they laid
A snare for me.
There was no man
That would know me,no man
Cared for my soul.
You are my refuge
And portion in the land
Of the living,Lord!
Deliver me
From the persecutors,
Stronger than I.
I may praise your name
The righteous shall compass me
Deal bountifully.
Psalm-143
Hear my prayer O Lord!
Hear my supplications
In faith and right.
Enter not in to
Judgment with your servant
Life not justified.
Foes persecuted me
Made me to dwell in darkness
As if long dead.
Therefore within
My spirit is overwhelmed
Heart is desolate.
I remember
Days of old,meditate on
The work of your hand.
I stretch forth
My hands unto you,thirsty
As a thirsty land.
My spirit fails
Hide not your face from me
Going down to pit.
Cause me to hear
Your kindness in the morn
I trust your love.
Cause me to know
Your way wherein I should walk
I lift up my soul
Deliver me
From my enemies,to hide
I flee unto you.
You are my God
In the land of uprightness
Lead me
Quicken me O Lord
For your righteousness sake
Deliver my soul.
Out of mercy
Destroy all those who afflict
Your servant's soul.
Psalm-144
Blessed be the Lord
My strength,trains my hands to war
Fingers to fight
Goodness and fortress
My high tower,my shield
My deliverer.
Man like vanity
His days are as a shadow
That passes away
Cast forth lightning
And scatter them,shoot out
Arrows to destroy.
Send your hand
From above,deliver me
Out of great waters.
Mouth speaks vanity
And their right hand is
Of falsehood.
I will sing
A new song upon the harp
I will sing praises.
He gives salvation
Delivers David his servant
From the hurtful sword.
Deliver me
From the hand of strange children
Mouth speaks vanity.
That our sons are plants
That are grown up in their youth
Daughters, cornerstones.
That our sheep
May bring forth thousands
And ten thousands.
That our oxen
May be strong to labour
No breaking in it.
Psalm-145
I will extol you
I will bless your name
For ever and ever
Great is the Lord
Greatness is to be praised
Is unsearchable.
One generation
Shall praise your work to other
Declare your great works
The Lord is gracious
With pity,slow to anger
And of great mercy.
Saints shall speak
The glory of your kingdom
Talk of your power.
An everlasting
Kingdom and your dominion
Endures for ages
Lord is righteous
In all his ways and holy
In all his works.
He will fulfil
Desires of those that fear him
Hears cry and saves.
He preserves
Those that love him,destroys
The wicked.
Psalm-146
Praise the Lord
O My soul while I live
I praise the Lord.
Put not your trust
In princes or man or any one
Trust the Lord our God.
Happy is he
Who has the God of Jacob
For his help.
He made heaven,
Earth ,the sea and all there in
Keeps the truth for ages.
Relieves the oppressed
Gives food to the hungry
Releases prisoners.
The eyes of the blind
The Lord opens,raises the lowly
Loves the righteous.
The Lord preserves
The strangers,fatherless and widow
Destroys the wicked.
O Zion
Unto all generations
Praise the Lord .
Psalm-147
Praise the Lord
Good to sing praises to God
Praise is comely
The Lord
Builds up Jerusalem,gathers
Outcasts of Israel.
The broken in hearts
He heals and binds up
Their wounds.
He tells the number
Of stars,he calls them
All by their names.
Great is our Lord
His understanding is infinite
Of great powers.
Sing to the Lord
With thanksgiving upon harp
Praise the Lord.
He covers heaven
With cloud,sends rains to earth
Grass grows on mountains.
He delights not
In the strength of horse and
In the legs of man
Lord delights
In them that fear him
Who hopes in his grace.
Praise the Lord
O Jerusalem praise
Your God O Zion.
Strengthened
The bars of your gate
Blessed your children.
He sends forth
His commandments upon earth
His words run swiftly.
He casts forth
His ice like morsels,none
Stands before his cold.
He causes
Winds to blow and the waters
To flow.
He shews his word
His statutes to Israel
And to Jacob
I cry unto you
Give ear unto my voice
Make haste unto me.
O Lord set a watch
Before my mouth,keep
The door of my lips.
Incline not my heart

Kingdom and your dominion
Endures for ages

Desires of those that fear him
Hears cry and saves.

Those that love him,destroys
The wicked.
Psalm-146
Praise the Lord
O My soul while I live
I praise the Lord.
Put not your trust
In princes or man or any one
Trust the Lord our God.
Happy is he
Who has the God of Jacob
For his help.
He made heaven,
Earth ,the sea and all there in
Keeps the truth for ages.
Relieves the oppressed
Gives food to the hungry
Releases prisoners.
The eyes of the blind
The Lord opens,raises the lowly
Loves the righteous.
The Lord preserves
The strangers,fatherless and widow
Destroys the wicked.
O Zion
Unto all generations
Praise the Lord .
Psalm-147
Praise the Lord
Good to sing praises to God
Praise is comely
The Lord
Builds up Jerusalem,gathers
Outcasts of Israel.
The broken in hearts
He heals and binds up
Their wounds.
He tells the number
Of stars,he calls them
All by their names.
Great is our Lord
His understanding is infinite
Of great powers.
Sing to the Lord
With thanksgiving upon harp
Praise the Lord.
He covers heaven
With cloud,sends rains to earth
Grass grows on mountains.
He delights not
In the strength of horse and
In the legs of man
Lord delights
In them that fear him
Who hopes in his grace.
Praise the Lord
O Jerusalem praise
Your God O Zion.
Strengthened
The bars of your gate
Blessed your children.
He sends forth
His commandments upon earth
His words run swiftly.
He casts forth
His ice like morsels,none
Stands before his cold.
He causes
Winds to blow and the waters
To flow.
He shews his word
His statutes to Israel
And to Jacob

The fruit of your body
On your throne.

Psalms In Haiku Poems
Psalm-121
I lift up my eyes
To hills from where
My help comes from.
My help comes
From the Lord who made
Heaven and earth.
He will not allow
Your foot to be moved
Never he slumbers.
Who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber
Nor sleep.
Lord is your shade
Sun will not harm you by day
Nor moon by night.
Lord will keep you
From all evil he will
Keep your soul.
Psalm-122
I was glad
When they said to me
'Lets go to Love's house'.
Our feet are standing
Within your gates compact

To give thanks to the Name
Of Yahweh.
Pray for peace
Of Jerusalem indeed
You will prosper.
Peace be within
Your walls,prosperity
Within your palaces.
Psalm-123
To you who sits
In the heavens ,I do
Lift up my eyes.
Servant's eyes look
At master,maid's at mistress
Our eyes look to Love.
Have mercy on us,
We have endured much contempt
Have mercy on us.
Psalm-124
Had not been Yahweh
Who was on our side,let
Israel now say.
Men rose up against
Would have swallowed us
But for Yahweh.
Waters would have
Overwhelmed us,stream
Gone over our soul

Who has not given us
A prey to their teeth.
The snare is broken
A bird out of Fowler's snare
We are escaped.
Our help
Is in the name of Yahweh
Maker of heavens.
Psalm-125
Those who trust in Love
Will remain for ever at peace
Like Mount Zion.

To their crooked ways,Yahweh
Will lead them away.
Psalm-126

Goes out weeping
Carrying seed for sowing
Comes back with sheaves.
Psalm-127
Unless God builds
The house,they labour in vain
Who build it.
Unless God watches
The city,the watchman
Guards in vain

The children
Are fruits of the womb
Reward to obtain.
Like arrows,children
Who has quiver full of them
Fear not foes at gate.
Psalm-128
Blessed is everyone
Who fears Yahweh walks
On the path of Love.
You will eat
The labour of your hands
Be happy ever.
Your wife a vine
Fruitful,children as olives
Around your table.
The blessed man
May see his children's children
Peace on Israel.
Psalm-129
Afflicted me
Many times but not prevailed
Israel stood.

He has cut apart the cords
Spine of the wicked.

Withers before it grows up
So also the wicked.
The blessing of Love
We bless you in his Name
Ever on you.

Out of depths
I have cried to you
Heard my voice.
Lord who could stand
With record of sins

Do hope in Yahweh.

Mother of children.

In to a pool of water
Flint in to spring.

Do not speak, hear or see
Nose do not smell.

Do not feel, feet do not walk,
In silver and gold.

Trusts Love,he is their help
And their shield.

Both small and great who
Fear the Lord.

From falling.

Of salvation,call upon
The name of the Lord.

Out of my distress
I called on Love with freedom
He answered me.
Love is on my side
What can man do to me?
I will not fear.
It is better
To take refuge in Love than
To believe in man.
Nations surround me
In the name of Love,indeed
I cut them off.
Love is my strength
My song and my salvation
Righteous rejoice.
The right hand of Love
Does bravely so exalt it
Will live,not die.
I will enter
In to the gates of righteousness

The stone which
Builders rejected becomes
The cornerstone.

Is marvelous in our eyes
Love's day it is.

Praise the name of Yahweh
Blessed be the Name.
Sunrise to sunset
Love's name is to be praised
Forevermore
Love is high above,
Glory above the heavens
Above all nations
Who is like Yahweh?
Our God who has seat so great
On High.
He raises up
The poor from the dust, the need
From ash heap.
He settles
The barren women in house
Mother of children.
Psalm-114
Went out of Egypt
Judah became his shelter
Israel his hold.
The sea saw it
And fled,the Jordan was
Driven back.
The mountains
Skipped like rams,little hills
Like lambs.
Tremble you earth
At the presence of the Lord
God of Jacob.
Turned the rock
In to a pool of water
Flint in to spring.
Psalm-115
Not to us Yahweh
But to your Name
We give glory.
We give glory
For your loving kindness
And truth.
Where is their God?
Our God is in the heavens,
He does, he pleases.
Their idols gods
Do not speak, hear or see
Nose do not smell.
They have hands
Do not feel, feet do not walk,
In silver and gold.
Who fear Love
Trusts Love,he is their help
And their shield.
He will bless
Both small and great who
Fear the Lord.
Love may increase you
More and more,you and
Your children
Blessed are you
Who made heaven and earth
Blesses you.
We will bless Love
From now on to for ever
Praise Love.
Psalm-116
I love Beloved
He listens to my voice
And my cries.
Gives his ears to me
I will call upon him
As long as I live.
O Beloved
I beg,deliver my soul
Gracious and righteous.
Love preserves'
The simple, the lowly
He saved me.
Delivered my soul;
My eyes from tears;my feet
From falling.
I will take the cup
Of salvation,call upon
The name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows
To the Lord in the presence
Of all his peoples
I am your servant
The son of your handmaid
Who loosed my bonds.
I will offer
Sacrifice of thanksgiving
In the name of Love
Psalm-117
Praise the Lord
All you nations extol him
All you people.
His loving kindness
Is great,his faithfulness
Endures for ever.
Psalm-118
Give thanks to Love
He is good,his faithfulness
Endures for ever.
His loving kindness
Israel and Aaron say
Endures for ever.
Out of my distress
I called on Love with freedom
He answered me.
Love is on my side
What can man do to me?
I will not fear.
It is better
To take refuge in Love than
To believe in man.
Nations surround me
In the name of Love,indeed
I cut them off.
Love is my strength
My song and my salvation
Righteous rejoice.
The right hand of Love
Does bravely so exalt it
Will live,not die.
I will enter
In to the gates of righteousness
I will give thanks.
The stone which
Builders rejected becomes
The cornerstone.
Love's doing
Is marvelous in our eyes
Love's day it is.
Save us now
We beg you Lord! send us
Prosperity.
Blessed is he
Who comes in the name of Lord
Praise the Lord.
You are my God,
I will give thanks to you
I will exalt you.
Psalm-119
Blessed are those
Whose way are blameless
Walk on Lord's law.
Keep statutes
They do nothing wrong
Walk in his footprints.
I consider and do
All your commandments,
I give thanks.
With my lips
I have declared all the laws
Your mouth uttered.
I will meditate
On your precepts and consider
To keep your ways.
I will delight
Myself in your statutes
Forget not,your word.
Do good to me
I will live and will obey
Your word.
You have rebuked
The proud so are cursed
So wander from your laws.
My soul is weak
Strengthen me according
To your word
Keep me from the ways
Of deceit,grant me,
The grace of law.
I run in the path
Of your laws that you have set
My heart is free.
Direct me in the path
Of your commandments
I delight in them.
Fulfill your promise
To your servant so that you
May be feared.
I dread
Take away my disgrace,your
Ordinances are good.
Your loving kindness
And salvation come to me,
As per your word.
I have called Love
With my whole heart
Answer me.
I rise before dawn
And cry for help,I put
Hope in your word.
You are near
Your commandments are truth
O My Beloved
Deliver me
Consider my affliction
Forget not, your laws.
I hate and abhor
Falsehood, but I love
Your statutes.
I praise you,
Seven times a day,
Your righteous laws.
Who love your laws
Have great peace,none causes
Them to stumble.
Hear my supplication
Deliver me according
To your word.
Let my lips praise
For you teach me
Your statutes.
Let my tongue sing
Your commandments are but
Righteousness.
I have longed
For your salvation,your law
Delights me.
I have gone astray
Like a lost sheep yet
Forget not, your laws.
Psalm-120
I cried to Love
In my distress since then
No more tears.
Deliver me
From a deceitful tongue
And from lying lips.
You deceitful tongue
Sharp arrows of the brave
Coals of juniper.
I am for peace
But when I speak,reflects
Darkness of war.

Psalms In Haiku Poems
Psalm-101
I will sing
Of loving kindness and just
I will sing praises.
A blameless life
I will live, come to me
Calls a blameless heart.
No vile thing
Hate deeds of faithless men
Do not cling to me.
A perverse heart
Nothing to do with evil
Far from me.
I will silence
The haughty and conceited
Will not tolerate
Faithful of the land
They may dwell with me
He will serve me.
Psalm-102
O Beloved
Let my cry come to you
Hear my prayer.
Hide not your face
In the day of my distress
Turn your ear to me.
My heart is blighted
Like grass,and withered
I forget my bread
I am pelican
Of the wilderness, an owl
Of the waste land.
I watch
Like a lonely sparrow
On the housetop.
I have eaten ashes
Like bread,mixed my drink
With tears
My days are
Like a long shadow
Withered like grass.
The heavens
Are the work of your hands
Laid foundations.
The heathen shall fear
The name of Lord and kings
Your glory.
He regards prayer
Of the destitute,despise
Not their prayer.
I said O my God
Take me not,in the midst
Of my days
They will perish
Wear out like a garment
You will endure.
Psalm-103
Praise the Lord
All that is within me praise
His holy name
Praise my soul
Who forgives all your sins
Heals your diseases.
Love redeems
Your life from destruction
Crowns with blessings.
Does righteous acts
Justice to oppressed
Satisfies desires.
He made known
Ways to Moses, Israel,
Merciful grace
As heavens are high
His loving kindness is great
High above the earth.
As for man
His days are like grass,a flower,
A flower flourishes so.
You angels
Mighty in strength
Obey his word.
Psalm-104
Bless my soul
Clothed with honour, majesty,
You are very great.
Clouds his chariot
On the wings of the wind
He walks.
The mountain rose,
The valleys sank down
To the place assigned.
The birds
Of the sky nest by them
Sing among the branches.
Wine that makes glad
The heart of man,oil for shine
Bread for strength.
The stork
Make its home in the fir trees
Birds make nests
He appointed
The moon for seasons
The sun knows to set
You make darkness
Animals of the forest prowl
And it is night.
There is the sea
Numerous living things in
Small and large beasts
I will sing to Love
As long as I live
I will sing praise.
Psalm-105
Sing to him
Tell of all his superb works
Sing praises.
Seek Love
His strength and his face
Forever more.
He is Love
Our God,his judgements are
In all the earth.
I will give
The land of Canaan
Your inheritance.
Don't touch
My anointed, my prophets
Do them no harm
Joseph was sold
A slave,bruised his feet
His neck was locked.
He made him
Ruler of his possessions
Lord of his house.
He sent darkness
Did not rebel against his word
Made it dark.
Their land
Swarmed with frogs
Even their King's room.
He gave them hail
For rain,with lightning
In their land.
Locusts and hoppers
Ate up every plant and fruits
In their land
He opened the rock
Water gushed out
They ran as ariver.
Observe his laws,
They might keep the statutes
Praise Love.
Psalm-106
Praise the Beloved
Heis good and kind
His love endures.
Blessed are those
Who keeps justice and who
Do right all the time.
Who have sinned
With our fathers,committed
Iniquity.
Forgot your kindness
Rebellious at the sea
Even at Red Sea.
Rebuked the Red Sea
It was dried up
Led them through
The waters,
Covered their adversaries
Not one of them left.
They sang his praise
They believed his words
Soon forgot.
They forgot God
Who had done great things
Their Savior.
Save us Love,our God
Gather us from the nations
Give thanks to his name.
Psalm-107
Give thanks
He is good,loving kindness
Endures for ever.
They wandered
In wilderness in desert
No city to live.
Hungry and thirsty
Their soul fainted
Cried to Love.
He delivered them
Out of their distresses
Led them through
Sat in darkness
In the shadow of death
Bound in affliction.
He brought them
Out of darkness and death
Broke bonds.
He sends his word
Delivers them from graves
He heals them
Let them offer
Sacrifices of thanksgiving
With singing.
To the sea in ships
For business in great waters
Wonders in the deep.

Waves are still.

Plant vineyards
Reap fruits

Will be glad,the wicked
Shut their mouth.

My heart is steadfast
I will make music in my soul

Is great above the heavens

Answer us.
Gilead is mine
Sons of Joseph are mine
Judah is my rod.
Give us the help
Against the enemy
Help of man is vain.
Psalm-109
God of my praise
Don't be silent wicked
Mouths against me
They surrounded me
Fought against me without cause
I am in prayer.
Evil for good,
Hatred for love they
Rewarded me so.
Let his days be few
Let other take his office
His wards be fatherless.
His wife be a widow
His children be beggars
Let them ruin.
They were unkind
Persecuted poor the neddy
kill them.
Deliver me
I am poor and needy
My heart is hurt.
I fade away
Like an evening shadow
Off like a locust.
Help me and save me
As per your loving kindness
Let them know your hand.
Yahweh have done it
They may curse,you bless
They will be shamed.
I will give great thanks
Praise him among multitude
To Love with thanks.
Psalm-110
Sit at my right hand
I will make your enemies
Your footstool.
Love has sworn
He will not change his mind
You are a priest.
He will crush kings
The Lord is your right hand
He does in his wrath.
He will drink
Of the brook in the way
Will lift up his head.

He who dwells
In the abode of Most High
Rests in his shadow.

From the snare of the Fowler
And pestilence.

Under his wings,you will
Take refuge.
His faithfulness
Is your shield and rampart
You shall not fear.
Terror by night
Arrows by day,pestilence
You will not fear for.

Ten thousand at your right fall
Will not come near you.
You look with your eyes
Recompense of the wicked
Take refuge in Love.
No evil happens
No plague nears your place
For angels guard you.

Psalms In Haiku Poems
Psalm-81
Raise a song
Bring here the tambourine
The lyre and the harp.
On your feast day blow
The trumpet at the new moon
The full moon shines.
No strange god
Or foreign god you shall not
Worship,I'm Yah.
Out of Egypt
I brought you up,your mouth
I will fill it.
My people listen
You do walk in my ways
I do subdue your foes.
Psalm -82
Defend the weak
The poor and the fatherless
Maintain their rights.
Deliver the poor
From the hand of the wicked
Walk back in darkness.
Psalm -83
God do not be still
Foes are stirred up
Lift up hands.
Against your people
They conspire with cunning
And make alliance.

Chaff before the wind.
Burns the forest
The fire,sets mountains on fire,
Pursue with tempest.
Faces with confusion
They may seek your Name
They be dismayed.

My soul longs
Aches for the abode of Love
Sings for joy.
Sparrow finds a home
The swallow the nesting place
Dwell within your Heart.

Live to Love's light and power
Live up in Most High.
O My Comforter
Forgive what is unholy in
Cleanse my sins.
A day with Love
Is most desired,than

Who know not Love.

As radiant as the sun,
Strong as steel shield.
The Beloved invites
To partake of the Banquet
Who put trust in Him.
Psalm-85
Kind to your people
You restore their soul
Time and time again.

Righteousness and peace
Embrace each other.
Love's way
Will guide our footsteps
On the path of peace.

O Lord God
I have cried day and night
O My salvation.
Let my prayer
Come before you,hear me
And my cry
My soul in distress
Life seems like dust
Pit of despair.

I feel powerless as if
You have turned me.
In the deep pit
You alone can comfort me
Darkness of fear goes.
Separation, a pain
Hopelessness threatens
Overwhelms me.
Am weary of tears
I am in prison chained
I call upon you.
From living death
Raise me,mend my heart
Your love ever be.

By your saving grace
My unholy ways.
Wonders be known
And righteousness in the land

Raise a song
Bring here the tambourine
The lyre and the harp.
On your feast day blow
The trumpet at the new moon
The full moon shines.

Or foreign god you shall not
Worship,I'm Yah.

I brought you up,your mouth
I will fill it.

I do subdue your foes.

The fire,sets mountains on fire,
Pursue with tempest.
Faces with confusion
They may seek your Name
They be dismayed.

My soul longs
Aches for the abode of Love
Sings for joy.

Forgive what is unholy in
Cleanse my sins.
A day with Love

Psalms In Haiku Poems
Psalm-71
I take refuge
Your righteousness rescues me
My Rock and Fortress.
You are my hope
My confidence from my youth
My only reliance.
Don't reject me
In my old age, forsake not
My enemies talk.
Praise your wondrous works
I am old and gray-haired
Forsake me not.
You did great things
Love who is like you?
You will let me live.
Praise you with harp
I sing to you with the lyre
My lips shout for joy.
Psalm-72
Mountains shall bring
Prosperity,hills bring
Fruit of righteousness.
Breaks the oppressor
They fear as long as the sun
And the moon endure.
He waters the earth
He will come down like rain
On the mown grass.
Righteous shall flourish
Until the moon is no more
Abundance of peace.
They shall bless him
Abundance of grain in the land
His name endures through.
Praise the Beloved
He does marvelous deeds
Blessed be his Name.
Psalm-73
God is good
To those who are pure in heart
My steps slipped.
The wicked wear
Pride as a chain around neck
Violence as dress.
Eyes bulge with fat
They speak conceit and malice
Arrogance galore.
These are the wicked
At ease they increase in riches
But end as a dream.
I am ever with you
You have held my right hand
Your counsel guides me.
They shall perish
Those who are far from you
The unfaithful.
Psalm-74
Rejected us why?
Recall sheep of your pasture
People of Mount Zion.
Your foes did roar
Behaved like men wielding axes
Thicket of trees cut.
They have burned
Profaned the place of your Name
Love's sanctuary.
O God how long
Enemy blasphemes your Name
Why draw back your hand ?
Opened spring and stream
You dried up mighty river
Day and night is yours.
The light and the sun
Earth and borders you made,also
Summer and winter.
Psalm-75
We give thanks to you
Your Name is so near
For your wondrous works.
The earth
And its inhabitants quake
I hold its pillars.
God is the judge,
Puts down one, lifts up the other
Cuts horns of wicked.
Psalm-76
God is known
Name is great in Israel
He dwells in Zion.
The valiant plundered
They have slept their last sleep
Men of war are down.
Who can stand
In your sight when
You are angry.
Make vows to Love
Your God and fulfill them
Praise be to God.
Psalm-77
My cry goes to God
I cry to God for help
He listens to me.
I sought the God
In the day of my trouble
My soul groans.
My eyelids open
In trouble I can not speak
Remember my song.
Your way
God is in sanctuary
Love does wonders.
The clouds
Poured out rain, sky thundered
Your arrows flashed.
Thunder,your voice
Lightnings lit up the world
The earth trembled.
Through the sea
Through the great waters
Your footsteps not known.
Psalm-78
Turn your ears
My mouth speaks in parable
Our fathers told.
Tell the children
Not to forget works of God
Let them hope in God.
During battle days
Did not keep the covenant
Defied God's law
He split rock
Gave them drink abundantly
In the wilderness.
Out of rock
Brought streams caused waters
Run down like rivers.
Can God prepare
A table in wilderness?
Spoke against God.
Opened sky
Rained manna on them to eat
Food from heaven.
He rained also flesh
Winged birds as the sands
Of the seas.
Chose David his servant
Took him from the shepherd
To be shepherd.
Psalm-79
The ignorant
Defile the Holy Temple
Unrestrained.
They oppress the poor
Through deception and greed
Ends in destruction.
O My Presence
How long will you be patient?
Cry dormant spirits
Open the hearts of all
We call upon your Name
For new consciousness.
The blood innocent
Who have spilled repent
Make reparation.
We give thanks to you
For all come generations
Submit to your hands.
Psalm-80
O My Beloved
Give heed to your people
Our Guide and our Light
Compassionate One !
Enliven people with peace
Justice flourishes.
Lord restore
Let your face shine upon us
Teach us to love.
O My Master
Help us to turn to you
In prayer.
Plant your seed
Uproot the weeds of our sins
The soil of goodness.
A tiny acorn
The secret of mighty oak
Is the food of Love.
Be glad
Where your seed has found
Fertile soil.
One healthy plant
Much more its return
Than useless weeds.

Psalms In Haiku Poems
Psalm-61
I call to You
From the depths of my being
My heart is faint.
Lead me to the Rock
My strength,refuge and love
All conquer my fears.
Let me dwell in You
Under shelter of your wings
Prayer answered.
My birthright
As walk on your path
I commit my ways.
I shall sing praises
And blessings to your Name
I perform my vows.
Psalm-62
He is my Rock
My salvation,my fortress
And what not.
Will not be shaken
How long will you assault
Not tottering fence.
They delight in lies
They bless with their mouth
Curse inwardly.
My soul
Waits in silence for god
He is my Rock.
My glory
My salvation, my strength
And my refuge.
Trust in Love
Pour out your heart to him
Our refuge.
God spoke once,
Twice have I heard this
Power is of God.
Psalm-63
My soul thirsts
As in a dry barren land
With no water.
My lips praise you
Your loving kindness is good
Above my life.
My soul satisfied
With a banquet,mouth praises
With joyful lips..
Ponder on night vigil
In the shadow of your wings
I will rejoice
My soul clings to you
Your right hand upholds me
Fears disappear
Who seek my soul
To destroy it shall go to
Lower parts of earth.
Psalm-64
Hear my voice,
In prayer,preserve my life
Fear of the foe.
Hide me
From bad counsel of wicked
And iniquities.
Tongue like sword
Bend bows to shoot arrows
At the righteous.
Men from ambushes
Shoot at him suddenly
In their evil plan.
Lay secret snares
"Who will see them" they say
Plot injustice.
What Love has done
The righteous shall be glad
The upright praise him.
Psalm-65
You who hear prayer
To you all men will come
Sins overwhelmed me
Blessed is the Love
Atoned for our transgressions
Lives in our courts.
God of salvation
Hope of all the ends of earth
And also of the sea.
Forms the mountains
Stills the roaring of the seas-
Roaring of the waves.
Love visits the earth
River of God is full
Water enriches it.
You bless with a crop
Crown the year with bounty
With abundance.
The wilderness green
Hills are clothed with gladness
Pastures with flocks.
Psalm-66
O all the earth
Sing to the glory of Name
Offer praise to him
We will sing to you
All the earth will worship you
Sing to your Name.
Come and see Love's deeds
Turned the sea to dry land
Went through on foot.
We rejoiced in Love
Rules by his might forever
Eyes watch the nations.
As silver is refined
We went through fire and water
To see abundance.
As promised
Bring burnt offerings to you
Rams,bulls and goats.
Love has listened,
Heard the voice of my prayer
Blessed be God.
Psalm-67
Be merciful to us
Bless us,cause your face
To shine on us.
Your ways may be known
Salvation among all nations
People praise you.
Sing for joy
You will judge with equity
Natios be glad
People praise you
Earth has yielded its increase
Earth shall fear him..
Psalm-68
Foes be scattered
As smoke is driven away
Wax melts in the fire
Wicked perish
At the presence of Love
The rigteous rejoice
Sing praises to his Name
Extol him who rides on clouds
Love his Name.
God in his home
Father of the fatherless,defender
Of the widows.
The earth trembled
The sky also poured down rain
God of Sinai.
God of Israel
Sent a plentiful rain there
Congrgation lived.
Being humbled
Brings bars of silver,scatter
They delight in war.
Praise be to God
Rides on heaven of heavens
Strength and power.
Psalm-69
Save me God
Waters come up to my neck
I sink in deep mire.
Weary of crying
My eyes fail, looking for God
My throat is dry.
Wept and fasted
I made sakcloth my clothing
My reproach
Gall for my food
Gave me vinegar to drink
Their table a snare.
Their eyes are darkened
Their backs be continually bent
Pour out indignation.
Heaven and earth
Praise him, the sea and everything
That moves
Love hears the needy
Does not despise captive people
God will save Zion.
God saves the Zion
Builds the cities of Judah
They may dwell there
Psalm-70
Deliver me God
Come quickly to help me
Turn foes in disgrace
Who say,"Aha! Aha !"
Those who seek be glad in you
God be exalted.
Am poor and needy
Deliverer and helper
Do not delay

Psalms In Haiku Poems
Psalm- 51
O Gracious One
Your abundant love forgives
Shows paths of peace.
I acknowledge
My sins against you that stand
Ever before me.
Purge me
With hyssop I shall be clean
Whiter than snow
Create in me
A clean heart and
A right spirit.
Deliver me
From guiltiness O God
Of my salvation
Lord,my God
Open my lips and my mouth
Show forth praise.
My weaknesses
And shortcomings that bind me
Love is my birthright.
Cleanse me,
Your light might shine in me
Fill me with gladness.

Put in me right spirit
The Holy Spirit.
O Merciful One
Repentant and contrite heart
You most desire.
O Most gracious
Melt our hearts of stone
Lead not to darkness.

You love riches more
Burying your heads in sand
The Ostrich.
Blessed are those
Who trust in steadfast love
Strong as oak.
Thanks from their hearts
Flow as they walk in truth
The presence of love.
O Lord I am
Like a green Olive tree
In the house of God
I praise you
I wait on your name,for me
You have done it
Paslm-53
To the blessed one
Not yet opened their hearts
Who dwells within.

Who know not love
Works for money and power
Becomes greedy.
Fear besets them
In prisons of their making
Fear taunts.
Psalm-54
Awaken me
That I might be free of fear
Hear my prayer.
Loneliness and pain
I remember not the Love
Fears overwhelm.
I praise your Name
Abandon myself to you
Boundless confidence.
O My Helper
With you I have strength
With out you fears.
Psalm-55
Give ear to my prayer
By the noise my doubts
Ever tormented.
In fear and despair
That I had wings like a dove
I would fly above.
Confusion dwells
Darkness and conflict within
Truth a stranger.
Doubts taunt
Not a known fear that rises up
Abandoned me.
From morn to evening
I moan in my loneliness
A vast wilderness.
With guidance tender
I shall find my way Home
Wandered away.
O Beloved wait
When I do call upon You
Be near to me.
My fears to the fore
Expose them to the Light
Calms the waves that roar.
Psalm-56
I dread my fears
I am like a door mat
People step upon
Your Word I praise,
In you I shall find strength
What can others do?
I succumb to harm
Who knows my weakness
Watches my downfall.
O! Rock on my side
I find courage for new life
A new leaf indeed.
O!My transgressions
Your tears could fill a lake!
Numerous tear drops
Your word I praise
I shall trust you without fear
What can others do?
O! Beloved
To the light of a new dawn
I may walk with You.
Psalm-57
I will find peace
In the shadow of your wings
A mother hen.
Wholeness for all
Send angels to awaken me
Let darkness flee.
I lie at night
In the midst of dragons
Fear overwhelm me.
Be exalted
Creator of galaxies
Exalted the earth.
Like spider
My fears have woven a web
To entrap me
I know in my heart
Love a healing balm for fear
I make melody.
Awaken my soul
I will awaken the dawn
To hear Love's song.
Psalm-58
Idol gods lure
As the hunter with sweet bait
Lures the deer to kill.
Open our eyes
Tear down the walls of fear
Break through the darkness.
Love all beings
All that fly and swim,
All that walk and crawl.
Time has come
To dwell in peace and truth
To walk in the light.
Psalm-59
Spoken in anger
Where I have erred in thought
Forgive me at last.
New heart within me
Sleeps at night to wake up
For a new dawn.
I find rest in you
Remember not erring ways
Forgive for ever.
You are my Rock
With steadfast love
You ever stand.
A new warm sun
Let me grow in wisdom
No havoc ever.
My Rock,my Refuge
In the days of my distress
O My strength.
Psalm-60
I tremble with fear
Break down the walls of fear
I stand tall as oak.
Wander for from home
Welcome me back to new life
Green to bloom.
You are mine
Vexed are blessed with meekness
I belong to you.
To dare fears
To break down the prison walls
To walk with Love.

O Gracious One
Your abundant love forgives
Shows paths of peace.
I acknowledge
My sins against you that stand
Ever before me.
Purge me
With hyssop I shall be clean
Whiter than snow
Create in me
A clean heart and
A right spirit.
Deliver me
From guiltiness O God
Of my salvation
Lord,my God
Open my lips and my mouth
Show forth praise.
My weaknesses
And shortcomings that bind me
Love is my birthright.
Cleanse me,
Your light might shine in me
Fill me with gladness.

Put in me right spirit

Psalms In Haiku Poems
Psalm-31
Love is my home
Your grace and forgiveness
Bring shiny days.
False idols
Not true path of love'

Eyes are dim with weeping
Soul in deep grief.
A broken vessel
I hear voices around me

And be transformed.

You shelter all those in love
Under your wings.
Listen in silence
Be strong,to take courage
The Lord upholds.
Psalm-32
Blessed is he,
Transgression Love forgives
Sin is covered.
I kept silence
My bone waxed old
Roaring all the day.

From trouble.

My spirit dry as desert bones
Day and night.
Forgive me my Love
I have sinned in thoughts
Words and deeds.

And for wisdom.

Walks on the path of truth,
The upright.

Holy name
Rejoice in the Lord
Praise is comely for upright
O You righteous.
The word of the Lord
Is right,works are done
In truth
Praise is a grace
Give praise with dance and leaps
Sing a new song.
Word made the heavens
Distant stars and the seas live
Because Love breaths.
Generals save not
The nation by their strength,
End in despair sure.

For eternal life.
Our soul yearns

Ignorance
Only chaff before the wind,

Cruelty to love.
My soul weeps
I lit candles and prayed,
Simple prayer.
How long to endure
Rescue me from the oppressors,
The jungle lions.

Stay close to me.
Those who rejoice,
In another's misfortune,

Abhors not evil.

Is in the heavens and faith
Reaches the clouds.
You preserve
Men and beasts,loving kindness
Is excellent.
O!Lord my God

Open the hearts
Of those who live in darkness,

The greedy
Like the green grass of spring,
Fade and wither.

Know your anger
For those who act out of anger,
Separates from Love.
Life in harmony
Shall know peace, assurance.
Gratitude and love
Lovers of darkness
Perish while the humble shall
Inherit the earth.
The plots of greedy
The Love watches patiently,
Stumble and fall.
Love identifies
And walks with the upright
Heritage is ever.
The greed will perish
In the hot refining fire,
Vanish in smoke.
The greedy borrow
The upright are generous,
Blessed by love.
The upright of heart,
Their children will be blessed,

All my bones are very weak,
My heart melts.
Pierced my hands and feet
Stare and gloat over my death,
Cast lots on raiment
I will tell your Name
In the midst assemblies,
I will praise You
Cries are heard,
Prayers rise up to heaven
Congregation hears.
Turn to to Love's way
All the ends of earth listen
And shall bow down.
Come generations
Know and proclaim salvation,
People yet unborn.
Psalm-23
I shall not want
My shepherd who provides me
Pastures and waters.
I walk through
The valley where death is sure,
You are with me.
Your rod and staff
Give strength and comfort
I am not afraid.
You prepare
A table where fears are,
My cup overflows.
Goodness and mercy
Will follow me all the days
Of my life,Love's way.
Psalm-24
Earth is yours
Founded it upon seas
Built upon rivers.
Pure hearts
Shall stand in your holy place,
And ascend your hill.
Gates be lifted up!
The heart of your heart and life,
The loved comes in.
Psalm-25
Heart of my heart
Instruct me upon your paths,
Lead me in your truth.
I know your mercy
You have been with me
From the beginning.
Away from you
Choosing to walk with your love,
Be friend on your way.
O My Beloved
My eyes are ever on You,
My feet stumble not.
O Holy One
I am lonely and oppressed,
Darkness with in me.
Darkness to go
Look at my pain and fears
Healing light to come.
Psalm-26
O Beloved
I like the path of wholeness,
Your love I do trust.
May my heart be
As your heart,my mind as yours
Love my guide.
Cleanse my heart
Childlike innocence it is,
Sings thanksgiving.
My heart
Your dwelling place I cherish,
I radiate Love.
Path of wholeness
Write my name in the saints list
Your path is my path.
Psalm-27
Whom shall I fear,Love
Is my light and salvation,
No more sunset.
I shall ever seek
To dwell in the heart of Love,
Warm days to follow.
During troubled days
I shall hide in the Love's heart,
A tent in desert.
I shall rise above
My struggles and pain
Come victorious.
Seek my face
Your face my Love,I do seek
Hide not your face.
Know me and love me
My father and mother
Understand me not.
I shall know
The Realm of Heaven,
Here on earth.
Psalm-28
O Holy One
When I call your holy Name,
I lift my hands.
Delight in their law
Will reap the harvest of sin,
The justice of Love.
You are my strength
In to your hands I commend
My soul, heart leaps.
O my comforter
My lament,song of triumph
And a shout of praise.
O Giver of Life
Guide our feet in to peace,
Live in our hearts.
Psalm-29
The voice of the love
In the oceans and the seas,
A powerful voice.
The Beloved
Breaks oppression and injustice
The dance of freedom.
The voice of love
Fire strikes the hearts of stone
Uproots thorns of fear.
Psalm-30
I will extol you
You have lifted me up
Enemies subdued.
O Lord my God
You have healed me
I cried to you.
You saved my soul
From the grave,kept me alive
From the pit.
I sing praises
No discomfort, no more despair,
Hope of sunrise.
Wait at the open door
In the evening we may weep,
Morning we may smile.
In prosperity
And wealth,I discarded my Love
My foundations shook.
Will emptiness praise
What profit in my riches?
With out Love useless.
O Gracious One
Made mourning into dancing,
Spring after Winter.

Your Love a crown
Of fine gold upon my head
Blessing on Blessing.
I asked for life
Life you did give even more
Eternal life.
O Loving Presence !
Splendor, majesty your raiment,
Blessing forever.
You root out fears
A blazing sun,your light shines,
My fears do flee.
A Wondrous One
I honour your saving grace,
All praise be yours.
Psalm-22
I am just alive
Who see me make fun at me
Mock and gossip.
Many like bulls
Surround me with a great force,
Bellowing roars.
Like water poured
All my bones are very weak,
My heart melts.
Pierced my hands and feet
Stare and gloat over my death,
Cast lots on raiment
I will tell your Name
In the midst assemblies,
I will praise You
Cries are heard,
