Poems of Psalms 1-75

By Debra Russell

The Lord is my shepherd

I will not do without

He provides my comfort

I will never doubt

The Lord is my guide

Showing me where to go

I can rest in his knowledge

Not in what I know

He restoreth my soul

With strength to survive

I will not starve

Im going to stay alive

The Lord teaches me

To do what is right

Im a reflector

Of his Holy Light

In times of danger

He is my all and all

I will not be afraid

I can stand very tall

My enemies can see

That he holds me in his hand

My Gods great

He always understands

Surely goodness and mercy

Will follow me through life

I dont want to entertain

Envy or strife

I shall dwell in his house

Forever more

Accept the Lord Jesus

Go on, open up the door

Psalm 23

Debra Russell enjoyed rhyming poetry as a child. She was inspired to start writing poems on her 38th birthday when her family failed to acknowledge her birthday. It is funny yet it shares her feelings. If you’re familiar with her writings she wrote Bible Story Poems, Bible Story Poems II and Poems of Psalms 1-75: these poems were written in rhyming poem form based on the stories or poetry from the bible.

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man

That ignores ungodly advice

He doesn’t waste time

With those who aren’t nice

He spends time

Serving the living God

By following his example

He tells him where to trod

He meditates on God’s word

He does it day and night

This man is faithful

He does what is right

Like a tree by the river

His roots are deep

He produces fruit

With leaves that don’t wither, they keep

The ungodly are not rooted

The wind carries them away

They will not be judged with the righteous

No matter what they say

The Lord knows his righteous

He sees what we do

The ungodly will perish

Don’t let this be you

Psalm 2

Why are the heathens raging?

People planning in vain

Kings against our Lord

What could they possibly gain?

The Lord is not pleased

He speaks out of wrath

These kings and rulers

Are going down the wrong path

They are rejecting Jesus

They refuse to obey

The Lord laughs in displeasure

These people are going to pay

There’s a king in Zion

Sitting upon my holy hill

Declaring my son’s decree

Let me tell you how I feel

He can ask for anything

Heathens belong to him

He can possess the earth

What is wrong with them?

He will rule with an iron rod

He will break them like a pot

Serve the Lord Jesus

Don’t be in their spot

Kiss the Son

Embrace Jesus with your heart

If he gets angry

You’ll be broken apart

It could happen in a moment

His wrath will ignite

Those that trust him are blessed

They’re treating God’s son right

Psalm 3

My enemies have increased

They are troubling me

They think I’m all alone

But they can’t possibly see

Lord you are my shield

You lift up my head

I know God is here

He heard all that I said

Lord, when I cried

You heard from your holy hill

You are so sensitive

You know how I feel

I have no problems

That I can foresee

When I’m asleep

You watch over me

I won’t be afraid

If ten thousand enemies were around

You will protect me

Hearing every sound

Arise my Lord

Please save me

You broke the enemy’s teeth

They are ungodly

Put faith in God

There’s nothing to discuss

Salvation belongs to the Lord

He has blessed us

Psalm 4

Please hear me

My God of righteousness

You enlarged me

When I was in distress

Have mercy, Lord

Listen to my prayer

Peace is present

When you’re there

How long will men

Turn my glory into shame?

They are vanity seekers

Exalting their own name

God knows his children

They have been set apart

He hears my cry

When I pour out my heart

Men stand in awe

Do not sin

Examine your heart

And how things have been

Go take a rest

Lie upon your bed

Be very still

Remember what I’ve said

Sacrifice righteousness

Put trust in the Lord

We can do this

In one accord

Some will say

Who can show any good?

Lord, let your countenance shine

Like I know it could

My heart experiences

Your great joy

It’s more than a wine or grain harvest

Could ever employ

When I lie down

I can sleep in peace

You provide safety and comfort

That will never cease

Psalm 5

While listening to my prayers

You know what you will find

My God, My king

Knows the heart and mind

Early in the morning

I send my prayers to you

I wait for an answer

You know what to do

You don’t accept the wicked

They can’t stay

They won’t stand before you

With all they have to say

Liars are not welcome

Bloody, deceitful men

You are not a supporter

Of their wicked sin

Because of mercy

Your house opens to me

I will give praise

On bended knee

Lead me Lord

In your righteousness

Because of my enemy

I want to have success

We can’t trust the liar

Or believe what they say

They have wicked hearts

That know no other way

They have a mouth

Like a tomb or empty grave

They flatter with their tongues

See how they behave

Destroy them God

Let them fall on their sword

They will be rebels

Receiving a just reward

There are the faithful

That put trust in you

They rejoice and sing

Giving honor is what they do

Lord, you will always

Bless what is right

Your shield encompasses

Reflecting holy light

Psalm 6

Lord, when you’re angry

Do not rebuke me

I am so weak

Please have mercy

Lord heal me

My bones are experiencing stress

I am suffering

I had to confess

My soul is stressed

It needs help too

I cry Lord

What else can I do?

Return my God

Deliver my soul

Please save me

Make me whole

When I die

I can’t remember thee

I want to give thanks

While I can see

I’m growing weary

Crying all night

Lord please help

Make things right

My bed has become

A place for me to swim

My eyes are full of grief

My enemy made them dim

I want my enemies

To depart from me

All of those evil men

Working iniquity

The Lord heard my cry

He heard my request

My God always
