Psalms In Haiku Poems

Psalm-121

I lift up my eyes
To hills from where
My help comes from.


My help comes
From the Lord who made
Heaven and earth.


He will not allow
Your foot to be moved
Never he slumbers.


Who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber
Nor sleep.


Lord is your shade
Sun will not harm you by day
Nor moon by night.


Lord will keep you
From all evil he will
Keep your soul.

Psalm-122

I was glad
When they said to me
'Lets go to Love's house'.


Our feet are standing
Within your gates compact
Built as a city.


Where the tribes go?
To give thanks to the Name
Of Yahweh.


Pray for peace
Of Jerusalem indeed
You will prosper.


Peace be within
Your walls,prosperity
Within your palaces.

Psalm-123

To you who sits
In the heavens ,I do
Lift up my eyes.


Servant's eyes look
At master,maid's at mistress
Our eyes look to Love.


Have mercy on us,
We have endured much contempt
Have mercy on us.

Psalm-124

Had not been Yahweh
Who was on our side,let
Israel now say.


Men rose up against
Would have swallowed us
But for Yahweh.


Waters would have
Overwhelmed us,stream
Gone over our soul


Blessed be Love
Who has not given us
A prey to their teeth.


The snare is broken
A bird out of Fowler's snare
We are escaped.


Our help
Is in the name of Yahweh
Maker of heavens.

Psalm-125

Those who trust in Love
Will remain for ever at peace
Like Mount Zion.


Mountains
Surround Jerusalem,Love
Surrounds his people.


Do us good Yahweh
To those who are good
And to the upright.


Those who turn
To their crooked ways,Yahweh
Will lead them away.

Psalm-126

Mouth with laughter
Tongue with singing,Yahweh
Has done great things.


Restore our fortunes
Yahweh! like the streams
In the Negev sands


Those who sow
In tears will reap in joy
God restores.


Goes out weeping
Carrying seed for sowing
Comes back with sheaves.

Psalm-127

Unless God builds
The house,they labour in vain
Who build it.


Unless God watches
The city,the watchman
Guards in vain


It is vain for you
Rise up early,stay up late
Sleep is God's grace.


The children
Are fruits of the womb
Reward to obtain.


Like arrows,children
Who has quiver full of them
Fear not foes at gate.

Psalm-128

Blessed is everyone
Who fears Yahweh walks
On the path of Love.

You will eat
The labour of your hands
Be happy ever.


Your wife a vine
Fruitful,children as olives
Around your table.


The blessed man
May see his children's children
Peace on Israel.

Psalm-129

Afflicted me
Many times but not prevailed
Israel stood.


The Lord is righteous
He has cut apart the cords
Spine of the wicked.


Grass on the housetops
Withers before it grows up
So also the wicked.


The blessing of Love
We bless you in his Name
Ever on you.

Psalm-130

Out of depths
I have cried to you
Heard my voice.


Lord who could stand
With record of sins
Forgiveness is yours.


I wait for Yahweh
My soul waits,I hope
In Yahweh's words.


My soul longs for Love
More than watchman for the morn
Do hope in Yahweh.


Loving kindness
With abundant redemption
Love redeems.
