Delivered From My Affliction - Psalm 119: 153-160

God, you see all my affliction I cry out for you to deliver one such as I remember your law you are the one the constant giver I request for your redemption plead for me at the great throne for in your promise, there is life be faithful so leave me not alone The unrepentant reject your salvation having no thought nor any desire but you are a God of great mercy who is always a constant fire My persecutors are full and many your testimony they so much hate in disgust, I look at the faithless but I won't leave your word to their state I ponder much upon your every line your love of steadfastness is so sure the word of God is full of your truth for every part will surely endure (This is my " Psalm 119 project" which I began to write a couple of years ago, so this is the twentieth poem of twenty-two poems I've written over that time to cover all of Psalm 119.)
