Psalms In Haiku Poems

Psalm-61





I call to You


From the depths of my being


My heart is faint.








Lead me to the Rock


My strength,refuge and love


All conquer my fears.








Let me dwell in You


Under shelter of your wings


Prayer answered.








My birthright


As walk on your path


I commit my ways.








I shall sing praises


And blessings to your Name


I perform my vows.





Psalm-62





He is my Rock


My salvation,my fortress


And what not.








Will not be shaken


How long will you assault


Not tottering fence.








They delight in lies


They bless with their mouth


Curse inwardly.








My soul


Waits in silence for god


He is my Rock.








My glory


My salvation, my strength


And my refuge.








Trust in Love


Pour out your heart to him


Our refuge.








God spoke once,


Twice have I heard this


Power is of God.








Psalm-63





My soul thirsts


As in a dry barren land


With no water.








My lips praise you


Your loving kindness is good


Above my life.








My soul satisfied


With a banquet,mouth praises


With joyful lips..








Ponder on night vigil


In the shadow of your wings


I will rejoice








My soul clings to you


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.








Men from ambushes


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.








Psalm-65





You who hear prayer


To you all men will come


Sins overwhelmed me








Blessed is the Love


Atoned for our transgressions


Lives in our courts.








God of salvation


Hope of all the ends of earth


And also of the sea.








Forms the mountains


Stills the roaring of the seas-


Roaring of the waves.








Love visits the earth


River of God is full


Water enriches it.








You bless with a crop


Crown the year with bounty


With abundance.








The wilderness green


Hills are clothed with gladness


Pastures with flocks.








Psalm-66





O all the earth


Sing to the glory of Name


Offer praise to him








We will sing to you


All the earth will worship you


Sing to your Name.








Come and see Love's deeds


Turned the sea to dry land


Went through on foot.








We rejoiced in Love


Rules by his might forever


Eyes watch the nations.








As silver is refined


We went through fire and water


To see abundance.








As promised


Bring burnt offerings to you


Rams,bulls and goats.








Love has listened,


Heard the voice of my prayer


Blessed be God.








Psalm-67





Be merciful to us


Bless us,cause your face


To shine on us.








Your ways may be known


Salvation among all nations


People praise you.








Sing for joy


You will judge with equity


Natios be glad








People praise you


Earth has yielded its increase


Earth shall fear him..








Psalm-68





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
