"When I have remembered you... during the night watches I meditate on you.  For you have proved to be of assistance to me, and in the shadow of your wings I cry out joyfully." King David's words recorded in Ps 63:6,7

A Humble Prayer

I yearn to praise
the One who made
all things aright

Instead I speak
with stilted voice
in fetid night

And stumble on
like drunken man
whose thoughts take flight

To wonder why
He'd see me still
when so upright

While I'm beset
with waves of fright
I need His light

On darkened night
please listen Lord
do hear my plight

The strict format of four syllables to the line and the last word of all verses rhyming, with the contrast between the wish and the deed, gives the exact feel of a prayer.
