Daily writing prompt

So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture
will give thee thanks for ever:

we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

Psalm 79: 13

sometimes when I pray
before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice

Be still,
and know that I am God . . .

From Psalm 46: 10

praying the Psalms
old rose bush leans
against evergreens

Evening, and morning, and at noon,
will I pray, and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.

Psalm 55: 17

Monday grey sky
and raindrops
on the windows
how green the trees
and gardens

Bible on my shelf
a ribbon holds my place
in the Psalms
