Analysis of Trust God
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Go and come again tomorrow,
I will give then; you will have it;
Do not go away in sorrow,
For it will be worth your merit.
Devise not evil against me,
Who dwells trustingly beside you;
So you will be able to see,
Because I am faithfully true.
Strive not with a man without cause,
No reason has done any harm;
Wait and let actions take a pause,
There’s no grounds to sound the alarm.
Envy, not any oppressor,
Choosing not any of those ways;
For the Lord detests a suppressor,
That persecutes one who obeys.
It is an abomination,
To God, one who is devious;
Blasphemous as vermination,
Audacity is obvious.
Uprightness in His confidence,
The wicked house, the Lord will curse;
Blesses the house of the righteous,
Because of not being perverse.
He is scornful to the scorners,
But the humble, He gives them grace;
They are the righteous sojourners,
When sorrowful He will embrace.
The wise will inherit honor,
But the fools are disgraced in shame;
For the wise man is the fawner,
With wisdom from God to proclaim.
