Poetry

---

Deal bounteous with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your Word;
In your prayers to God, be fervent,
That your sincerity is heard.

Open my eyes that I behold,
The wondrous things out of Your Law;
To see how Your plan does unfold,
Obliterating of my flaw.

I am a sojourner on earth,
Hide not Your commandments from me;
That I consumed ever since birth,
That my eyes are longing to see.

My soul is consumed by Your rules,
Longing for Your rules at all times;
Many are just a bunch of fools,
Living life with immoral crimes.

You rebuke the proud that are cursed,
Who wander from Your commandments;
Darkness tempted to be coerced,
As they set up some entrapments.

Remove from me scorn and contempt,
For I kept Your testimonies;
While they are trying to preempt,
Dissolving my patrimonies.

Though some sit plotting against me,
I meditate on Your statutes;
With my eyes opened up to see,
The direction of Your pursuits.

Your evidence is my delight,
Testimonies as my advocate;
By remaining just and upright,
Has enabled to educate.
