Comfort In Affliction - Psalm 119: 49-56
Lord brings to your mind thy word
please reveal it for my edification
for receiving your word is a blessed thing
such a delight enhances my education
Feelings come down to indwell me
from heaven above to bring comfort
to deal with my affliction so real
giving hope to take away the hurt
Constantly the insolent mock me
but I stand firm steadfast on your law
O Lord in you alone is my comfort
for considering all scripture has no flaw
Considering the ways of the wicked
that constantly your law they do forsake
such foolishness is hard to comprehend
sojourn long in song never to break
Even in the darkness of night
your name I've kept your word is true
God's blessing has fallen upon me
to His precepts, I have said I do
(This is my " Psalm 119 project" which I began to write a couple of years ago, so this is the seventh poem of twenty-two poems I've written over that time to cover all of Psalm 119)
