I wrote another psalm for NaPoWriMo, although I don’t think it’s as good as the first one I wrote. I’ll let you be the judge, readers.

Another Psalm

I wait for your help, O LORD,
Why do You withhold it?
You are far away when I need You.

What must I do to rouse You
To combat the slander of my enemy?
His words are a scorpion’s sting,
Poisoning all who hear them.

My heart is weary from waiting.
Tears have become the tonic
To sooth my soul’s affliction.

If burnt offerings you required,
I would bring them with gladness.
But sacrifices are not what You seek.
No, You desire a blameless and loyal heart.

You, LORD Almighty, are a Righteous Judge,
So defend my cause and punish my foe
For Your Name’s sake.

Save me, O LORD,
Before I sink into the grave,
Where I can sing your praises no longer.
O LORD, do not forget me!
