Imagine Gods book of poetry, the Psalms, written as poems
that rhyme
that have a variety of metrical patterns
that remain true to meaning of Scripture
that help us hear Gods voice in a new way
Jehovah, Thou searchest me deeply;
My nature dost Thou understand;
Whenever I sit, Thou ponderest it;
Whenever I rise, Thou dost realize
My thoughts and the deeds I have planned.
Psalm 139
Jehovahs mine, my Shepherd divine;
No want will He fail to surpass;
He makes me dine, be filled, and recline
In pastures of tender, young grass.
Psalm 23
The panting hart seeks most and first
For water-brooks, to quench its thirst,
Lest it should die;
So pants my soul, O God, for Thee
Who art the God of life to me:
Let me draw nigh!
Psalm 42
I have been teaching the Psalms for more than thirty years, and yet, as I read through these poems, I found myself repeatedly stopping to reflect on things I had never considered before, and being blessed by that exercise.
