God Praise As Judge

And they, O Lord, that know Thy name, Their confidence in Thee will place; For Thou, Jehovah, never hast Forsaken them that seek Thy face.

Verse 4

Sing praises to the Lord most high, To Him that doth in Zion dwell; Declare His mighty deeds abroad, His deeds among all people tell.

When He inquiry makes for blood, He calls to mind the murderer’s deed; Nor will forget the humble saints, Who cry to Him in time of need.

Lord, have mercy, and regard The grief which I from foes sustain; O Thou, who from the gates of death Dost raise me up to life again;

Verse 8

The heathen in that pit are sunk Which they had wickedly prepared; Their net was cunningly concealed, And in it are their own feet snared.

The wicked turned to hell shall be, And nations that forget the Lord: The needy shall not be forgot, Nor poor men lose their hoped rewards.

Verse 11

Arise, and let not man prevail; O Lord, judge heathen in Thy sight; That they may know themselves but men, The nations of the world affright.
