Learn Well the Value In Affliction - Psalm 119: 65-72
The Lord my God is always true and holy
being fair to His servant all the time
for He keeps to His inspired word
so we learn not to commit any crime
In God alone learn judgment and knowledge
holding to His commandments so pure
for in the past, I went wildly astray
now keep to God's word to faithfully endure
My God is good who always does good
I plead for His statutes I be taught
with mockery, I'm infiltrated with lies
in my heart, I stay true not wanting caught
Your law oh God is my daily bread
while their heart feels not at all
I'm pleased that affliction has came
so to learn how to stand as a wall
Listen well to God's holy law
for it's better than all the gold
that this world is able to offer
for it's eternal to never grow old
(This is my " Psalm 119 project" which I began to write a couple of years ago, so this is the ninth poem of twenty-two poems I've written over that time to cover all of Psalm 119.)
