Psalms In Haiku Poems

Psalm-21

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,
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.
