At True Worship, 2; After Psalm 5:7 And Other Scriptures

In the multitude of God's mercy, I shall worship toward His holy temple;

my prayers shall ascend, before me, to that Heavenly destination.

The Poet David's psalms, and those of others, shall be the example

until that form of worship described in the Book of Revelation.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I could not have written this poem without the wise spiritual counsel given my by Patriciajj.  Her words about the poetry of David the King were particularly salutary and instructive to me.

A radiant declaration of

A radiant declaration of heartfelt, true devotion that follows, beautifully and sincerely, in the footsteps of the prophets. Especially significant is the understanding that, however uplifting and transcending these prayers are, they are only fleeting glimpses of an ultimate glory. Thank you kindly for the acknowledgment.

Thank you for the kind

Thank you for the kind comment.  Too many times in my life, I have failed to say thank you.  I can't keep failing at that, not at this crucial time.  You have been soooo very kind and gracious to me, and your advice and observations are always exactly helpful.  Plus, your tremendous talent for poetry puts you at the peak of postpoems.  I am so grateful for the kindness and artistry that distinguishes you.
