Righteous Are You, O LORD

Verse 1

Righteous are You, O LORD, and just Your judgments are, in Thee I trust; Your statutes all, by Thee decreed, In truth and faithfulness exceed.

Verse 2

My zeal doth e'en consume my heart, When from Your law my foes depart; Your Word is pure, without alloy, Therefore 'tis all Thy servant's joy

Verse 3

Though me the mighty often deride, I turn not from Your law aside; Eternal righteousness is Thine, And all Your Word is truth divine.

Verse 4

Trouble and anguish vex my mind, Yet in Your counsels joy I find; Thy righteous truth shall know no end, That I may live, true wisdom send.
