Psalm 87 - Psalms of Steel
Lord, why does the heart of the wicked fail to receive your message?
The wicked hear the message, they listen with their ears.
Yet they fail to put into practice the word of truth.
The religious express devotion with their lips,
Yet their hearts lust after greed and money.
The wicked have hard hearts and are hard ground.
The message does not penetrate so they remain untouched.
The wise allow the message to change them.
To conform them to the image of God.
The fool fails to see the real from the fraud.
The fool has a shallow heart, they receive the message gladly,
But they do not understand what has been presented to them.
The wise knows that every gift given by the Father,
Is good, perfect and complete for full salvation.
It completes the righteous in all things.
The wicked and foolish fail to grasp truth.
That which is obvious eludes them.
The wise know that even simple truth liberates and frees.
They allow truth to penetrate their hearts.
To be truly liberated and set free.
The wicked and the fool are like the man,
Who looks at themselves in a mirror.
Then they walk away and forget what they look like.
So is their ability to grasp the truth.
They are hearers with a short memory.
Be wise and hear the truth.
Understand God's message of forgiveness and salvation.
See His goodness, mercy, love and grace.
Except this truth, be wise and live.
May the Lord be praised forever.
