Christian Poem - Psalm 122 of Thomas





















Psalm 122 (of Thomas)

1 I was mad when they said to me,
“In this house, we have seen the Lord!
2 We saw Him here without you,
    within this house, O Didymus”.
3 Didymus—born as a twin,
    full of doubts altogether.
4 To him, the disciples go up,
    the disciples of the Lord,
who were chosen by Christ,
    to give witness to the rising of the Lord.
5 For them, the promises of God were fulfilled,
    the promises to the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Didymus:
    “May they convince and love you.
7 Peace be within your mind,
    and clarity to end your doubts.”
8 For the sake of my sanity, dear friends
    I will say, “I do not believe you.
9 Unless I see in this house the Lord who died,
    I will reject your word.”
