Offensive,
Despicable
Are say-one-thing-do-something-else people.
But I love your torah-way.
Over and around me,
You shield me,
Inspiring trust in what you say.
Oh get away from me,
You cheaters in the game of life.
I’m keeping the rules
Set down by my God.
Oversee and undergird me
Just like you promised you would
And I will live.
Please don’t let me down.
Offer a helping a hand
And I will be truly helped.
I fully approve of your life commands.
Out with those who spurn your decrees!
Their self-centered dreams
Come up empty.
Obliterate the wicked
Wherever they are on earth.
That’s why I love your moral rules.
Overwhelmed and overcome,
I tremble in awe of you,
Extending that awe to the commands you have given us.
