Analysis of Righteous Kingdom



A King will reign in righteousness,
Each will be like a hiding place;
As a Prince will rule in justice,
For shining His mercy and grace.

He is a shelter from the storm,
Streams of water in a dry place;
The shade of a rock is the norm,
As your comfort that will embrace.

The eyes of the ones who will see,
They will not close neither grow dim;
The ears will then hear the decree,
As spoken through the cherubim.

The heart of the rash understands,
The tongue stammers hasten to speak;
Comprehending by the commands,
What the Lord wishes you to seek.

The fool will no more be noble,
Vile ones no more liberal;
Nor the scoundrel honorable,
Their wokeness is deplorable.

The vile speaks of villainy,
Fools will practice ungodliness;
Is busy with iniquity,
While thirsty for sinfulness.

The scoundrel with thoughts of evil,
Wicked plans to ruin the poor;
With the workings of the devil,
Let him in through the open door.

The plea of the needy is right,
Being noble plans noble things;
The things where He stands in the light,
Noble things that righteousness brings.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
