Apocrypha: Psalm 45 (Refrain Stanza) Poem by Gert Strydom

Daily I beg lead me in Your omnipotent saving light
do not hide Your holy face from me during this night,
days of darkness hang like a thick blanket over me
and nowhere I can go without Your great mercy,
around me I see evil's might and alone I cannot it fight
and it's as if my country and its civilization does fall
but in this You do remain the ruler of everything and of all.
I beg You be present here, come with your saving might,
do not hide Your holy face from me during this night
