Last words

Haiku of conclusion


They engaged a scribe

to record the final words

of David, the King.


God exalted him,

favoured him above others.

(Despite all his sins).


God's Spirit, said Dave,

speaks through me. His divine word

is upon my tongue.


Israel's Rock says:

A just ruler, fearing God

shines like the morning.


Like the sun rising,

gleaming like rain on the grass;

the king who is just.


God knows I am just.

He makes lasting covenant

with me and my house.


God secures my house,

He will cause it to prosper;

my help and desire.
