Faithfully at my back

Renga with the Psalms… (unsure of what Renga is? Look at the Dec 14th entry)

The first section is Ps. 119:82-83 and the last is Ps. 119:90. The in between is mine…


“My eyes fail looking for Your promise;
I say “When will you comfort me?”
Though I am like a wineskin in smoke,
I do not forget your decrees.”

I wander left to right,
Searching to and fro for your design,
I say, “In what do You inhabit?”
“Where can my spirit go to meet with Yours?”
In all my steps, when You feel far,
I turn and find You close, at my back,
Or by my side, comfort in my step and misstep.

“Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
You established the earth, and it abides.”
