The prayer of a righteous man …

(on James 5:17,18    Psalm 33:10;  55:9)
The righteous, justified, will learn
God’s will, know how to pray.
Their prayers prevail, events will turn
to thwart the wicked’s way,
unveil the lies they say,
foil Satan’s schemes and break his sway.

Restrained by judgments troublesome,
some still will not give heed;
but others hear God’s Words, and come,
and pray his help in need,
– deluded captives freed
from guilt and folly, dangerous greed.
