Psalm 112 — The Righteous in Everlasting Remembrance
An English Sonnet
The justice of the faithful stands forever,
And to the good arises light in shadows,
For God will honour their every endeavour,
And wrap them round about with gold and rainbows.
The good make use of love and grace and mercy;
They are remembered for their deeds alway;
They trust and need not fear for they are worthy
That everything succeed that they essay.
The righteous gives freely, unselfishly;
Their strength will be exalted with honour.
The evil see and grieve in self pity;
The wicked gnash their teeth and disappear.
God, as for me, I will delight in You,
For You will bless the good I try to do.
Esther learned to read when she was four years old, and began writing shortly thereafter. She is a queer Christian poet, crafting with words to create art and music.
