Psalm Poems: Part I

Inspired By Psalm One

A. May we never
Walk with the wicked
Stand with the sinners
Or sit with the cynical

B. May we yearn for G-d's teaching
May we not consort with sinners
May we study His word day and night

This will make us as trees near a stream
With seasonable fruits
Leaves that never wilt

I will give you what you ask for/need."

G-d I have so many enemies, they say

Safe enough to go to sleep
Feeling cared for
And to wake up
unafraid

upon the righteous man
crafting a crown of good wishes
and protection
upon his heads

with tears
