Poetry

---

Look on my affliction,
I forget not Your Law;
Save me from addiction,
That developed a flaw.

Plead my cause to redeem,
Give life to Your promise;
Deliver from extreme,
Causing to be jealous.

Salvation is so far,
From those who avoid rules;
Causing them have a scar,
And making them as fools.

Great is mercy and grace,
Give life to Your precepts;
Comfort of Your embrace,
With spiritual concepts.

So many persecutors,
And my adversaries;
Those who are disputers,
Swerve from testimonies.

I look at the faithless,
Do not keep Your commands;
So disgustingly useless,
Of arrogant demands.

Consider how I love,
So please give me the life;
From the Law from above,
Delivering from strife.

The truth is in Your Word,
Righteous judgements endure;
Adhering what I heard,
Because You hold the cure.
