Psalms In Haiku Poems

Psalm-101

I will sing
Of loving kindness and just
I will sing praises.


A blameless life
I will live, come to me
Calls a blameless heart.


No vile thing
Hate deeds of faithless men
Do not cling to me.


A perverse heart
Nothing to do with evil
Far from me.


I will silence
The haughty and conceited
Will not tolerate


Faithful of the land
They may dwell with me
He will serve me.

Psalm-102

O Beloved
Let my cry come to you
Hear my prayer.


Hide not your face
In the day of my distress
Turn your ear to me.


My heart is blighted
Like grass,and withered
I forget my bread


I am pelican
Of the wilderness, an owl
Of the waste land.


I watch
Like a lonely sparrow
On the housetop.


I have eaten ashes
Like bread,mixed my drink
With tears


My days are
Like a long shadow
Withered like grass.


The heavens
Are the work of your hands
Laid foundations.


The heathen shall fear
The name of Lord and kings
Your glory.


He regards prayer
Of the destitute,despise
Not their prayer.


I said O my God
Take me not,in the midst
Of my days


They will perish
Wear out like a garment
You will endure.

Psalm-103

Praise the Lord
All that is within me praise
His holy name


Praise my soul
Who forgives all your sins
Heals your diseases.


Love redeems
Your life from destruction
Crowns with blessings.


Does righteous acts
Justice to oppressed
Satisfies desires.


He made known
Ways to Moses, Israel,
Merciful grace


As heavens are high
His loving kindness is great
High above the earth.


As for man
His days are like grass,a flower,
A flower flourishes so.


You angels
Mighty in strength
Obey his word.

Psalm-104

Bless my soul
Clothed with honour, majesty,
You are very great.


Clouds his chariot
On the wings of the wind
He walks.


The mountain rose,
The valleys sank down
To the place assigned.



The birds
Of the sky nest by them
Sing among the branches.


Wine that makes glad
The heart of man,oil for shine
Bread for strength.


The stork
Make its home in the fir trees
Birds make nests


He appointed
The moon for seasons
The sun knows to set


You make darkness
Animals of the forest prowl
And it is night.


There is the sea
Numerous living things in
Small and large beasts


I will sing to Love
As long as I live
I will sing praise.

Psalm-105

Sing to him
Tell of all his superb works
Sing praises.


Seek Love
His strength and his face
Forever more.


He is Love
Our God,his judgements are
In all the earth.


I will give
The land of Canaan
Your inheritance.


Don't touch
My anointed, my prophets
Do them no harm


Joseph was sold
A slave,bruised his feet
His neck was locked.


He made him
Ruler of his possessions
Lord of his house.


He sent darkness
Did not rebel against his word
Made it dark.


Their land
Swarmed with frogs
Even their King's room.


He gave them hail
For rain,with lightning
In their land.


Locusts and hoppers
Ate up every plant and fruits
In their land


He opened the rock
Water gushed out
They ran as ariver.


Observe his laws,
They might keep the statutes
Praise Love.

Psalm-106

Praise the Beloved
Heis good and kind
His love endures.


Blessed are those
Who keeps justice and who
Do right all the time.


Who have sinned
With our fathers,committed
Iniquity.


Forgot your kindness
Rebellious at the sea
Even at Red Sea.


Rebuked the Red Sea
It was dried up
Led them through


The waters,
Covered their adversaries
Not one of them left.


They sang his praise
They believed his words
Soon forgot.


They forgot God
Who had done great things
Their Savior.


Save us Love,our God
Gather us from the nations
Give thanks to his name.

Psalm-107

Give thanks
He is good,loving kindness
Endures for ever.


They wandered
In wilderness in desert
No city to live.


Hungry and thirsty
Their soul fainted
Cried to Love.


He delivered them
Out of their distresses
Led them through


Sat in darkness
In the shadow of death
Bound in affliction.


He brought them
Out of darkness and death
Broke bonds.


He sends his word
Delivers them from graves
He heals them


Let them offer
Sacrifices of thanksgiving
With singing.


To the sea in ships
For business in great waters
Wonders in the deep.


Their distress go
He makes the storm calm
Waves are still.


Sow fields
Plant vineyards
Reap fruits


The upright
Will be glad,the wicked
Shut their mouth.

Psalm-108

My heart is steadfast
I will make music in my soul
I will sing.


Wake up
Harp and lyre,I will wake up
The dawn.


I give thanks
To you among nations and
Among the people.


Your loving kindness
Is great above the heavens
Reaches to the skies.


Deliver us
With your right hand
Answer us.


Gilead is mine
Sons of Joseph are mine
Judah is my rod.


Give us the help
Against the enemy
Help of man is vain.

Psalm-109

God of my praise
Don't be silent wicked
Mouths against me


They surrounded me
Fought against me without cause
I am in prayer.


Evil for good,
Hatred for love they
Rewarded me so.


Let his days be few
Let other take his office
His wards be fatherless.


His wife be a widow
His children be beggars
Let them ruin.


They were unkind
Persecuted poor the neddy
kill them.


Deliver me
I am poor and needy
My heart is hurt.


I fade away
Like an evening shadow
Off like a locust.


Help me and save me
As per your loving kindness
Let them know your hand.


Yahweh have done it
They may curse,you bless
They will be shamed.


I will give great thanks
Praise him among multitude
To Love with thanks.

Psalm-110

Sit at my right hand
I will make your enemies
Your footstool.


Love has sworn
He will not change his mind
You are a priest.


He will crush kings
The Lord is your right hand
He does in his wrath.


He will drink
Of the brook in the way
Will lift up his head.
