Psalm 70 — By Your Name

A Kyrielle

Oh God, let those who scorn my life
Be shocked, appalled at their own shame;
Let them be dazed and at a loss
That they would ever claim Your Name.

When they despise me for myself,
And try to lay on me all blame,
I call on You for You will save,
For I was baptised by Your Name.

But I am poor and needy, God;
Do not delay, do not disdain
My hope in You for I depend
On You to live up to Your Name.

I will rejoice, be glad in You,
For You will save me once again;
You will draw near, deliver me,
And You will call me by Your Name.

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.
