Psalms In Haiku Poems

Psalm-41

Consider the poor
Freed in the day of trouble,
Love renews your life.


You are blessed
You are not beset by fear
Here in the land.


Hearts of hearts
Sustains you in illness,
Comfort and healing.


For I have been
Deaf to the cry of the poor,
O Love forgive.


My bosom friend
Who ate of my bread Alas!
Abandoned me.


You forgave me
My fears have not triumphed,
You upheld me.


Psalm-42

As a hart longs
For flowing streams, I long
For the Beloved.


My soul thirsts
For the Beloved who gives,
Living Water.

Open the door to Love,
My strength, my joy.


My fears taunt me
Ask "Where is the Beloved?"
Over and over.

Deliver me
From all greed and unjust
O My Refuge.

Guide me to your holy hill,
Let them lead me.

Psalm-44

O Rock of ages
Generations have proclaimed
The mighty deeds.


You with your own hand
Let the people to bondage,
You set them free.


Did they win the land?
Did their own strength give triumph ?
No but your power.


You know all hearts
Through you we face our foes
And call forth our fears.


No arms can save us
You can put our fear to erst,
Fears become peace.


We give thanks
Always we will offer You
Our songs of praise.


Our hearts recall
Your word and your promises
Darkness clouds.


Why do you sleep?
Foolish people, be not in
Darkness forever.

With thanks, I address my verses
To the heart of my hearts.

A few choose but followers
Stumble and fall.

To share with all.


A house of fear
Yet you will come to dwell,
With love for ever.

The Beloved
Is our refuge and our strength,
A loving Presence.

Though the earth should change,
And mountains tremble.

Gladden the Holy City
And the abode of Love.


Know that I am Love
Am lofty among the nations
And in the earth.

Our birthright to be shared,
With all the people.

Acclaim the creator
With song of joy.


Sing praises
Dance to the flute and the harp
Praise the Beloved.

Beloved is great
His abode looks beautiful
The holy mountain.


The Beloved's voice
Clear as crystal with in hearts
Heard so loud.


Seeing the Love
Fears were in panic so get,
To flight.

The refining fire of the Divine,
Melted hearts.

We call on your holy Name
Our hearts, your temple.

Let us rejoice.

Hear to this, give ear
Both low and high, rich and poor
Words of wisdom.


Guiding Spirit!
Is my strength and support
In times of trouble.


The wise,
Root out fears as weeds
Of the rose garden

The Wise
Trust not the riches of the world,
Treasure of the heart.

The arrogant
Like sheep led to slaughter,
Walk in to darkness.


Gold hidden in
Discover the treasure with in,
Garden of your heart.


Root out each fear
See truth, peace and joy
Become your riches.

Psalm-50

Love made the world
From rising to setting sun,
Love radiates.

My friends who by
Repentance and recompense
Follow Inner way.


O nations
I will bear witness against you
All people do so.


Deceitful ways
For greed, for power and wealth
Spawned by darkness.


Fearful deeds
I shall not accept burnt offering
But thanksgiving.


Who disdain Love
All will reap sufferings sown
Destruction is sure.


All who surrender
Have merciful and kind hearts,
Walk with grace.
