 Psalms in Poem

The heart’s cry and heaven’s echo

---

I. Psalm of Praise

Praise the Lord, O my soul—

Let all that is within me rise and sing

To the King who wraps Himself in light,

Who rides the clouds, who shapes the spring.

Mountains bow and oceans roar

At the whisper of His name.

Let my every breath adore

The Love no time can tame.

II. Psalm of Lament

How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?

My tears have been my food by night.

Enemies whisper, “God will deliver

No help to you in your plight.”

Yet I remember years gone by,

Your faithfulness in sorrow’s shade,

And through the weeping, I reply:

I will trust the hands that made.

III. Psalm of Trust

The Lord is my shepherd—

I shall not want, I shall not fear.

Through valleys dark, His staff is near.

He spreads a table in the strife,

Anoints my head with oil of life.

Goodness and mercy, all my days,

Will follow me and guide my ways—

Then home, at last, within His door,

To dwell with Him forevermore.

IV. Psalm of Wisdom

Blessed is the one who walks not with the wicked,

But plants their heart beside the stream,

Whose leaf is green, whose hope is quickened—

A life rooted in the Sacred Dream.

For the Lord knows the way of the just,

But the way of the faithless will fade like dust.

V. Psalm of Forgiveness

Have mercy on me, O God,

According to Your steadfast love.

Blot out my stain, break guilt’s hard rod,

Wash me with grace from above.

Create in me a spirit clean,

Renew my joy, make my spirit keen.

Then I will teach the wandering heart

The beauty of Your healing art.

VI. Psalm of Creation

The heavens declare Your glory,

The skies Your craftsmanship proclaim.

Day to day pours out the story,

Night to night whispers Your name.

There is no speech, there is no word,

Yet all the earth has seen and heard:

You, the Maker of the sun,

Who clothes the lily, counts each one.

VII. Psalm of Refuge

You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High,

Who rest in the shadow of the Almighty’s wing—

No terror by night, no arrow by day

Can touch the soul that clings to the King.

A thousand may fall at your side,

Yet you will be safe, for He is your guide.

VIII. Psalm of the Word

Your word is a lamp unto my feet,

A light upon the winding way.

In its truth, my aching finds its beat,

In its promise, my night turns to day.

Sweeter than honey, finer than gold—

The ancient story forever told.

IX. Psalm of Ascension

I lift my eyes to the hills—

Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,

Maker of heaven and home.

He will not let your foot be moved;

He watches, He keeps, He guards, He loves.

Selah.

Pause and ponder.

Let the heart hold what the ear has heard.

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”

—Psalm 150:6
