Apocrypha: Psalm 36 Poem by Gert Strydom

My God, out of many nations You did lead our nation
to eternally stay followers and servants of You.
Out of the Netherlands, from the Flemish, out of Germany and France
where our forefathers as protestants faithful did not want to deviate from You
but now our unity is being broken into pieces by others,
You did in danger, culture, in morals and language let us originate,
for freedom of will and a tranquil existence brought us to here
and only in You my nation can get its calling and destiny
to eternally stay followers and servants of You.
