Apocrypha: Psalm 16 Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Totius)

From the eons You do know the path that I have got to go
You do measure my days out in the time of my trivial existence,
unstoppable I see my enemies that daily do greet me
but from their own acts they do go to destruction
where constantly You do watch everything, every incident and conversation
where even the mockers come to an end according to Your will
and those that make phone calls and laugh cannot disguise them to me,
from Your benevolence my days carry on,
You do measure my days out in the time of my trivial existence.
