I am posting these poems both here and at my Substack.
Psalm 130:1
Out of the depths I cry to you. Lord, hear my voice and answer me. All men are liars. You are true. So from the depths I cry to you. What else can Jonah’s scion do, When drowning in sin’s lonely sea, Than spite the depths and cry to you: ”Lord, hear my voice and answer me.”
Psalm 130:3
If you should mark iniquities,
O Lord, how will a person stand?
We fall at once, not by degrees,
If you should mark iniquities.
A God above who knows, who sees
Our savagery in heart and hand—
If you should mark iniquities,
O Lord, how will a person stand?
