Psalms In Haiku Poems

Psalm-31

Love is my home
Your grace and forgiveness
Bring shiny days.


False idols
Not true path of love'
Trust not.


I am in distress
Eyes are dim with weeping
Soul in deep grief.


A broken vessel
I hear voices around me
Waves do roar.


I call upon you
Let my fears be cast out
And be transformed.


Like mother hen
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.


My hiding place
You shall preserve me
From trouble.

Heavy heart
My spirit dry as desert bones
Day and night.


Forgive me my Love
I have sinned in thoughts
Words and deeds.


Teacher and guide
I pray for inner peace
And for wisdom.


Be glad in the Lord
Rejoice and be righteous
Shout for joy.


Be glad and rejoice
Walks on the path of truth,
The upright.

Psalm-33

Our heart rejoices
We have trusted in his
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.


Heart of Love
Is the birthright of all people,
For eternal life.


Our soul yearns
For peace, joy and assurance,
Song of gratitude.


Our soul waits,
For the Lord,he is our help
And our shield.

Psalm-34

Open your heart
Your pain and loneliness,
Love consumes.


When you cry to him,
Your troubles disappear
Taste and see.


O! Come and see
How we honour the Love,
Come and see.


O! Come and see
How we honour the Love!
Come and hear.


Fears overwhelm
Cause illness and troubles,
Lighten my heart.


Be open and free
Make time to live in silence
The heart hears.

Psalm-35

Fear not
I am with you always,
Says the Lord.


Ignorance
Only chaff before the wind,
Sees not truth.


Who is like You?
You give strength to the weak,
Saving love.


False witnesses,
I cannot answer,they return,
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.


O! Love
Be silent no longer,
Stay close to me.


Those who rejoice,
In another's misfortune,
Become contrite.


Great are You
Who dwell in all open hearts,
Sing daylong praise.

Psalm - 36

O ! Holy One
Your justice is like mountains
Firm,sure and secure.


Your judgments
Are like the mighty deep,
Love is permanent.


Steadfast love,
Protect us from the seeds of
Arrogance.


His mouth speaks,
Iniquity and deceit'
No wisdom at all.


Devises mischief
His ways are not good
Abhors not evil.


O!Lord your mercy
Is in the heavens and faith
Reaches the clouds.


You preserve
Men and beasts,loving kindness
Is excellent.


O!Lord my God
Children of men put trust
Under your wings.


Greatly satisfied
With the fatness of your house
Drink of your river.


O!Fountain of life,
In your light,we see light
Drink of your water.


O!Continue
Lovingkindness unto them,
And to the upright



Open the hearts
Of those who live in darkness,
To see your light.

Psalm-37

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


Your pathway
Bright as the sun at midday,
Love makes it.


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,
Fullness of life.


The upright know
The silence,they only speak,
Wisdom and justice.

The greedy ones
They puff up with pride,
Inflated balloons.


Innocent of hearts
They leave rich inheritance,
To their children.

Psalm-38

Lord rebuke me not
In your wrath and displeasure
Chasten me not.


I am weak in flesh
Because of your anger,my sins
Make me restless.


I am troubled
I am bowed down
I go mourning

O !Loving Presence
Illness has overtaken
My spirit crushed.


Darkness at my door
Like deaf I do not hear, dumb-
I do not speak.


Be my strength
I am weak and about to fall,
Love upholds.


No separation
Take away the stone from heart,
O My Beloved.


Forsake me not
Be not far from me
O Lord O my God

Psalm-39

Be thou my voice
I may not err with my tongue,
I remain mute.


Forgive me
Not to walk in ignorance,
I hold my tongue.


Blot out sin
Burn it with refining fire,
Made new.


Give ear to my cry
Wash away my tears,
A sojourner.

Psalm-40

Heard my cry
From the pits of despair raised
The Beloved.


Feet upon a rock,
Steps secure,song in my mouth
Song of praise.


Make Love their home
Do not follow false idols
The blessed.


Fears overwhelm
Desires and anger cause me,
To be blind.


Rejoice and be glad
Who live by truth and justice,
Call upon Love.
