Apocrypha: Psalm 11: Like A Watchman Poem by Gert Strydom

Apocrypha: Psalm 11: Like A Watchman



(after Totius)

Like a watchman that waits that the new morning comes,
I continually wait upon You and daily I am speechless
and even when the hours of darkness do fall over me,
You do remain the great saviour, the God of the universe,
and out of destruction You do turn my life around,
where constantly I do witness the wondrous signs of Your love,
while You do look at me as Your child in righteousness
and Your presence in tranquillity is not disguised,
I continually wait upon You and daily I am speechless.

[Reference: " Psalm 130" by Totius.

Poet's note: ON FACEBOOK THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR FREEDOM OF RELIGION:
I just want to thank Facebook for banning me until Thursday 7 December 2018 12h22 on this day Monday 03 December 2018 while I have been publishing this poem. This poem is a Psalm that I have written to God in both English and Afrikaans.

The other two poems are love poems that I have written to my wife.
The Facebook message while banning me states that I have broken the community standards in posting this poem. If broking the community standards by writing a psalm to God then there is no RELIGIOUS FREEDOM which is a fundamental human right and is part of the constitutional rights of my country South Africa. Where is FREEDOM OF SPEECH, which is another fundamental human right and part of the constitutional rights of citizens in South Africa? ]
