I whisper the Psalms

Prayers for Health and Peace
God be merciful unto us, and bless us;
and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
That thy way may be known upon earth,
thy saving health among all nations.
Psalm 67: 1 – 2
peace
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 26: 3 (KJV)

My haiku was published at Poems From Psalms And Nature on May 16, 2012. Reprinted in the book, The Helping Hand Haiku Anthology (Including Senryu, Tanka, and Haiga). Edited by Robert Epstein (2020, Middle Island Press).
Karl and I also reprinted the poem in Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014).
Posts from The Psalms Series
The Psalms Series from 2020 featured short selections from the 150 Psalms. I began with the post, New Series From The Psalms (March 17, 2020). “My goal is to offer some moments of rest, beauty, and hope.”
This fall and winter, I plan to reprint a few posts. Perhaps the series is new for current readers, and those who have read before may enjoy a review. I often review past work on my sites.
Thank you to all who have visited Poems From Psalms And Nature for years, and those who are here today!
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
Psalm 5: 1
sometimes when I pray
sometimes when I pray
before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice
strength and peace
The LORD will give strength unto his people:
the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Psalm 29: 11
