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.)
