Psalms In Haiku Poems

Psalm-81

Raise a song
Bring here the tambourine
The lyre and the harp.


On your feast day blow
The trumpet at the new moon
The full moon shines.


No strange god
Or foreign god you shall not
Worship,I'm Yah.


Out of Egypt
I brought you up,your mouth
I will fill it.


My people listen
You do walk in my ways
I do subdue your foes.


Psalm -82

Defend the weak
The poor and the fatherless
Maintain their rights.


Deliver the poor
From the hand of the wicked
Walk back in darkness.


Psalm -83

God do not be still
Foes are stirred up
Lift up hands.


Against your people
They conspire with cunning
And make alliance.


My God
Make them like tumbleweed
Chaff before the wind.


Burns the forest
The fire,sets mountains on fire,
Pursue with tempest.


Faces with confusion
They may seek your Name
They be dismayed.


Psalm-84

My soul longs
Aches for the abode of Love
Sings for joy.


Sparrow finds a home
The swallow the nesting place
Dwell within your Heart.


Give no way to fear
Live to Love's light and power
Live up in Most High.


O My Comforter
Forgive what is unholy in
Cleanse my sins.


A day with Love
Is most desired,than
Thousand days elsewhere.


Rather be servant
Than live with riches among
Who know not Love.


The Beloved is
As radiant as the sun,
Strong as steel shield.


The Beloved invites
To partake of the Banquet
Who put trust in Him.


Psalm-85

Kind to your people
You restore their soul
Time and time again.


You forgive my sins
When wander far from you
You give new life.


Revive us we pray
Cast out the demons of fear
Doubt and illusion.


Listen in Silence
The Love speaks peace to you
New life is at hand.


Steadfast love
Righteousness and peace
Embrace each other.


Love's way
Will guide our footsteps
On the path of peace.


Psalm-86

Eternal Word
Give ear to my cry
Answer me.


Am in need of you
Awaken new life in me
Love to do your will.


Heart of my heart
With you, would I walk all day
I abandon myself.


Kind and forgiving
Your steadfast love boundless on
Who call upon you


No one is like You
Creations belong to You
Nations reverence.


Glory to your Name
For the wonders of your world
For you are great.


I may walk in truth
Write my name upon your heart
I give you thanks.


Fears rise up within
Like an army they seek to
Overwhelm me.


Help me drive out fear
Pour your light in to my soul
Darkness goes.


Psalm-87

His foundation
Is in the holy mountains
The lord loves.


The Lord loves
The gates of Zion more;
The loved dwelling.


O City of God,
Glorious things are spoken
Of Zion.

City of Light
From where Love welcomes all,
Gate of Love opens.


Humble and kind
Reflect and radiate peace
They enter the gate.


All who you hear
The Most High reigns there
The city of Light.


In God's register
If your name is,no shame join
Heavenly chorus.


Psalm-88

O Lord God
I have cried day and night
O My salvation.


Let my prayer
Come before you,hear me
And my cry

My soul in distress
Life seems like dust
Pit of despair.


I have no strength
I feel powerless as if
You have turned me.


In the deep pit
You alone can comfort me
Darkness of fear goes.


Separation, a pain
Hopelessness threatens
Overwhelms me.


Am weary of tears
I am in prison chained
I call upon you.


From living death
Raise me,mend my heart
Your love ever be.


Forgive me
By your saving grace
My unholy ways.


Wonders be known
And righteousness in the land
Of forgetfulness


Lord why
Hide your face,why
Cast off my soul?


Darkness inside
Be my strength as I face
Demons live within.


By night
Free me from the bonds of fear
Loving Companion.


Psalm-89

I sing
Of your steadfast love
For ever


I will proclaim
Your goodness to all
Generations.


Your covenant
From the beginning of time
Encompasses me.


Who keep your word
Generations will be made
Known,far and wide.


Council of saints
Great in wisdom and gentle
Around You.


You blessed us
With oceans, rivers and lakes
Sustains life on earth.


The heavens are yours
Earth also belongs to You,we
Befoul air,rape earth.


Forgive
We scatter your people
Shatter the nations.


Righteous and the just
Are foundations of cosmos
Steadfast love prelude.


Blessed are those
Walk in the light of your face
Know your Name.


Blessed are those
Who call upon your Name
Extol truth


Fear shall not win
Will not give in to doubt
Love casts out fear


In your name
We can do all good things
As per your will.


Not in love's way
Yet my covenant is true
For ever.


Love endures
Light as the sun,like the stars
Stand true, sky remains.


Remember values
Eternal,vanity falls
Husk of corn in Fall.


Psalm-90

Lord O God
Our dwelling place in all
Generations.


Before the mountains
And earth were formed,God
Everlasting.


Thousand years
For you like just yesterday,
Like a night watch.


Grass flourishes
Grows,up in the morn down
In the evening

Refuge in all time
You are Alpha,Omega
Before earth formed.


Days on earth end
Welcome us home to your heart
The city of Light.


Gather us all
Return from long journey
Gives rest to our soul


Years pass
Soon the harvest is at hand
Time to reap.


Your Word and glory
Be known to the nations and
To children's children.


Holy Spirit
Guides our feet upon
The path of Love
