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.

Not tottering fence.

They bless with their mouth


Curse inwardly.

In the shadow of your wings

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.

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.

You who hear prayer


To you all men will come


Sins overwhelmed me








Blessed is the Love

Lives in our courts.

Stills the roaring of the seas-


Roaring of the waves.

Heard the voice of my prayer


Blessed be God.

People praise you


Earth has yielded its increase


Earth shall fear him..

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

To dwell in peace and truth
To walk in the light.

To break down the prison walls
To walk with Love.

Have merciful and kind hearts,
Walk with grace.

Rescue me from the oppressors,
The jungle lions.

In the hot refining fire,
Vanish in smoke.

The upright are generous,
Blessed by love.

To their children.

To be blind.

A tent in desert.

My struggles and pain
Come victorious.

Hide not your face.

My father and mother
Understand me not.


I shall know
The Realm of Heaven,
Here on earth.

When I call your holy Name,
I lift my hands.


Delight in their law
Will reap the harvest of sin,
The justice of Love.

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.

In the oceans and the seas,
A powerful voice.

The dance of freedom.

Uproots thorns of fear.

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.

Yet they call it light.


Do not go astray
Discard greed and power
Be wise and kind.


The ignorant
Who never calls upon Love
Terror reigns their hearts..

Psalm-15

In all acts of life
The just joins dance of life
And the song of joy.


With you in Love
Who is in line with your word
Sings song of the heart.


Tongue speaks the truth
Judge not the others, seek the good
See inside Love.


Psalm-16

O Living Presence
I sense your presence in me
My heart sings praises.


Love is my birthright
Love,my chosen food and cup
My true estate.


I shall not fear
In to the pit of despair
I will never fall.

Psalm-17

Be thou my eyes
I may see, be thou my feet
May walk on your path.


Heart of my heart
Incline your ear to me
Hear my words.


Me your eye's apple
In the shadow of your wings
Hide,leave me not.


Gentle as the doe
Fearless as the lion,may be
Faithful as the dog.


Deadly fears rule,
Shine your light to my darkness
The bounty of Love.

Psalm-18

My strength
You are my rock, my stronghold
My freedom.


O Gracious One
To you I cried for help
Harkened to my cry.


Show me a vision
The foundations of mountains
Trembled, earth rocked.


On the wings of wind
Did come dark with water
Hailstones, coals of fire.


Your voice in heavens
Thunder and lightning stormed
In the earth.


Compassionate One !
Drew me out of many waters
Led me in to Light.


The humble
Are close to you, the haughty
Will one day fall.


Gird me with strength
You make my feet like hinds' feet
Set me on the heights.


O My Beloved
I sing all praises to your Name
Among the nations.

Psalm-19

The Heavens
And the firmament proclaim
Creator's glory.


No speech
No words,no voice yet music
Go through all the earth.


Words of my mouth
Meditation of my heart
Find favour in you.

The Spirit of Love
Is wondrous and endures for-
True compassion.


Cleanse me, O Love
All my hidden faults from
Acting in error.

Psalm-20

May the Name of Love
Be your guard and then rise up
Tower of strength.


What all you gave
In thanks and free hands
Returned hundredfold.


Let us shout for joy
Love triumphs over fears
Prayers answered.


Boast on nothing
But boast on the Name of Love
No stumble,no fall.


O Beloved
My creator, hear our call
Make home in our hearts

To pounce on the weak.


Strengthen my heart
Answer my prayer then I live
In integrity.

Psalms In Haiku Poems !

Psalm-1

Walks with goodness
Sits in the seat of truth
Spirit of Love.


They dwell in love
They are like trees planted
By streams of water.


They yield fruits
In seasons thrive,withers not
Spring dances.


Psalm-2

Nations and people
Conspire against Beloved
On the Love's way.


The Beloved
But smiles on their foolishness
Their fall is certain.


Steadfast voice
I have set love in your hearts
A warm dwelling place.


You are mine
Ask I give all nations
And whole Universe.


Blessed are all
No destruction,no despair
You dwell in Love.
