A commentary series on Psalm 139 in haiku poetic form.
My frame was not hidden from you
When I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in
The depths of the earth,
Your eyes saw my unformed body.
Psalm 139:15-16a
Your caring eyes saw
My
beginning in the dark—
Formed
for your glory.
Unmystery
me Lord
So
I can know my true self
My
planned destiny.
May
your knowledge be
A
light to guide my pathway
Toward my true lodestar.
We are inflamed, by your gift we are kindled; and are carried upwards; we glow inwardly, and go forwards. We ascend your ways that are in our heart, and sing a song of degrees; we glow inwardly with your fire, with your good fire, and we go; because we go upwards to the peace of Jerusalem: for I was gladdened by those who said unto me, We will go up to the house of the Lord. There has your good pleasure placed us, that we may desire nothing else, but to abide there for ever.
― Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
