There's Such Perfection In Praising God - Psalm 119: 161-168
Persecution haunts me all day long
there's no cause for it upon my back
but God's word holds me strong
I'm in awe as it keeps me on track
In your law, I so very much rejoice
like one finding such great treasure
my love for God's word is so deep
digging for it has no end measure
In God's law, I so much love
making Satan's lies I so hate
there's such perfection in praising God
for all your righteousness I love to date
Loving your word brings great peace
in that stance, you won't fall
looking above for God's salvation
as your commandments, I will call
In your testimonies I so delight
I so very much love them at heart
keeping all your divine testimony
you always see me from the start
(This is my " Psalm 119 project" which I began to write a couple of years ago, so this is the twenty-first poem of twenty-two poems I've written over that time to cover all of Psalm 119.)
