This limerick is based on Psalm 54.
O God, save me by Your name!
Vindicate me from my blame!
O God, hear my prayer
according to Your care.
Give ear as I cry out my shame!
For strangers rise against me;
they seek my ruin ruthlessly.
They do not want You in their lives;
they only care about spreading lies.
Save me with Your righteous glee!
Behold, God is my Helper!
He is my life's upholder!
I give thanks to You with a poem,
for Your grace is never wearisome.
For in Him I am a victor!
