(please read the note after the poem after reading the poem)
1,2 Behold, as the eyes of a servant
…..To the hand of their master they glance;
…..Behold, as the eyes of a maiden
…..To the hand of her mistress advance –
…..So, too, do my eyes as I worship
…..Look to God in grand heaven’s expanse.
3,4 Be gracious, O Lord, do be gracious,
…..For we bear much contempt from the proud.
…..At ease, they are brazen in scoffing;
…..The sound of rude mocking is loud.
…..In judgment, O Lord, be forthcoming;
…..And ride, swift to save, as You’ve vowed.

I am in the process of publishing my poems in rhyme and rhythm
of all of God’s Psalms and Proverbs. I hope to have it finished in
time for Christmas. I think they would make great gifts for those who
love those two books in the Bible. Let me know if you’re interested.
