Psalm 119 כ KAPH — Bend and Bow
A Ballad
I am bent and unassuming,
Generous and kind.
I bow and lean into Your tenets,
Humbly so inclined.
The haughty have dug pits for me,
But I will hope in You.
They persecute me wrongfully
God, help me! You are true.
When the busy day is done,
I lay my spent head down,
And when the end of life is come,
You give to me a crown.
My soul is faint for Your salvation;
When will You revive?
I am a wineskin made of vapour;
Am I still alive?
Yet I give thanks for heat and light,
For flames upon the hearth,
And I give thanks for work and rest,
For everything on Earth.
And when the busy day is done,
I lay my spent head down,
And when the end of life is come,
You give to me a crown.
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.
Enjoy my work? Buy me a coffee!
