Behold, bless ye the LORD,
all ye servants of the LORD,
which by night stand
in the house of the LORD.

Psalm 134: 1

this day’s light
hummingbird finds
the hosta

My poem is from July 26, 2013, with this garden journal photo by Karl:

Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty:
neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
or in things too high for me.

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself,
as a child that is weaned of his mother:
my soul is even as a weaned child.

Psalm 131: 1 – 2

He shall drink of the brook in the way:
therefore shall he lift up the head.

Psalm 110: 7

Help me, O LORD my God:
O save me according to thy mercy:

That they may know that this is thy hand;
that thou, LORD, hast done it.

Psalm 109: 26 – 27
