Precious Lord Poem by Marieta Maglas

Fear of the Lord gives knowledge; wisdom is despised by the fools.
Many people are greedy for gain; they can kill others to take their wealth.
Wisdom is like silver, try to search for it as for hidden treasures and jewels.
If you understand the fear of the Lord, you will find His knowledge and health.


You may cry after knowledge and lift your voice to understand Him
For the Lord gave wisdom and out of his mouth came His knowledge.
He laid up the sound of wisdom for the righteous in praise singing His hymn.
He is a buckler to those walking uprightly, and the Bible is a religious college.


He keeps the paths of judgment and preserves the way of His saints.
Can you understand His righteousness, His judgment, and His fairness?
Don't let the truth forsake you, bind it upon your heart, without complaints.
Happy is the man who found the wisdom and the truth in his self-awareness.

Wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness, and its paths mean peace.
Wisdom is a tree of life and happiness is everyone, who wisdom can retain.
It is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom in goodness to increase.
Bring forth the fruits meet for repentance; be ready these fruits to gain.

And Moses told Aaron the words of The Lord, and Aaron believed all of them.
And they tried to gather together all the elders of the children of Israel.
Aaron spoke all he heard from Moses for people to keep those words like a gem.
The people who believed bowed their heads and worshipped, the devil to prevail.


People understood that God could rise from the stone a new Abraham man.
John told them that all the trees bringing no good fruit into the fire were cast.
He baptized them with water; Jesus still baptizes with fire and the Holy Spirit any Christian.
No one can live only by bread, but by the words that proceed out of God's mouth to outlast.

Satan told Jesus to cast himself down to see if God sent His angels to concern His life,
Jesus said, 'Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God', his direction trying to swerve.
The devil offered Him the kingdoms of the world, which with wealth are rife,
But Jesus said, ' Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.'

Don't let the ungodly counsel you, and don't be on the sinners' way, only God can bless.
Cry unto the Lord with your voice, because He can hear you from His Holy Hill.
Put your trust in the Lord, He makes you dwell in safety, in the sacrifices of righteousness.
Stand up in awe and sin not, and be respectful, toward Your Father's will.

(I dedicate this prayer poem to my unique love, Thorsten. I have waited for him all my life.)
