Words, again and again the
psalmist adds
words about words, the
speech of creation, the birthing
words of the Lord, the Creator
speaking
So beautiful the language
of honeycombs and the
sweetness of the Law
dripping from our lips, our
lives,
Finally, turning to us, to keep
away from folly, from
arrogance,
from loose tongues, from
quick words that can hurt
He completes the song with
the familiar words
words that start many a
sermon, words in prayer
that they may be pleasing,
acceptable
to the Creator, to our God,
that they may inspire,
teach, lead
the flock closer to You

Psalm 19
Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and
the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
