Poetry

---

Let my cause come to your ears,
And give attention onto my cry;
Ease the tension and my fears,
As deception from my lips I deny.

Be my judge since you see right,
And put my heart through the test;
Searching me throughout the night,
Ensuring that there is no evil pest.

I shall keep my mouth from all sin,
As well as the evil from my eyes;
The works of men do not enter in,
Avoiding any violence in disguise.

I have followed along your path,
And have not even tried to stray;
I cry out to spare me from wrath,
Adhering to your words everyday.

Absolve the wonder of your mercy,
As I put my faith into your hand;
That all who come out against me,
I am ready to serve at your command.
