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.


A clean heart I need,
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.


Psalm-52

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.


The Holy Spirit
Ready to bless the vexed hearts
With strength and new life.


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.
