The Righteous -- A Haiku

The righteous flourish
Like a green olive tree set
In the house of God.

Those that be planted
Trust in the mercy of Him
now and forever.

Thou wilt bless the kept,
The righteous, Thou will compass
Them as with a shield.

For the pure of heart
Shall bring forth fruit in old age
And sing a new song.

Rejoice in the Lord;
Praise is comely for the just,
Their mouth speaks wisdom.

The righteous exalt,
As the fruit of righteousness
Is a tree of life.

For the Lord is good;
Righteous in all His ways and
Holy in His works.
