God Knows How Psalms Prose Goes and Flows

Standard

A Poem of Prose Pros

.

It is before dawn,

But the Psalms sing on.

God chose the Word Prose,

And how David’s melody goes.

David’s heart sings of God’s flows.

Psalms are devoted Praise in the Prose.

God Knows How Psalms Prose Goes and Flows.

AMEN to the Psalms, the Pros of the Prose, and How God Knows…

To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
    to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
to the pure you show yourself pure,
    but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
You save the humble
    but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
    my God turns my darkness into light.

(From Psalm 18 NIV of David)

As for God, his way is perfect:
    The Lord’s word is flawless;
    he shields all who take refuge in him.
For who is God besides the Lord?
    And who is the Rock except our God?
It is God who arms me with strength
    and keeps my way secure.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
    he causes me to stand on the heights.
He trains my hands for battle;
    my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You make your saving help my shield,
    and your right hand sustains me;
    your help has made me great.
You provide a broad path for my feet,
    so that my ankles do not give way.

(From Psalm 18 NIV of David)

I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings…

(From Psalm 17 NIV of David)

Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. O my soul, you have said to the Lord, 

“You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.” 

As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.

O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.

I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.
For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

(Psalm 16 NKJV –  A Michtam of David –  The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory)
