Apocrypha: Psalm 48 (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

My Lord, I have witnessed Your salvation
that in impossibility You do come to the rescue
and You did teach me just to trust in You,
that You are present in every circumstance and at anything.
Around me nations rise and others fall,
You do put rulers in place and let them fall,
You make the work of evil people undone
and still You do rule as Lord over all.
You do see and hear everything and nothing is secret to You,
when evil action brings destruction You are still near,
as You are omnipotent, omniscient and at all times present,
no power or anything can get dominance over You.
When death and devastation of a virus leaves me speechless,
it's then that You act and do turn our lives around.
