Apocrypha: Psalm 7 Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Totius)

Even if I am loss in the depth of darkness
still Your love and mercy are allotted to me,
my Lord You notice every turn-off road
that I do take in this tinned city,
Your own eye does follow my spoor from a distance,
where You do come and as my shepherd do lead me back,
nearer than any father that I know you do cherish me
and in your mercy and righteousness I am chosen,
still Your love and mercy are allotted to me.

[Reference: "Psalm 130" by Totius.]
