The Lord Is In His Holy Place

Verse 1

The Lord is in His holy place, And from His throne on high, He looks upon the human race With omnipresent eye.

Verse 2

He proves the righteous, marks their path; In Him the weak are strong; But violence provokes His wrath, The Lord abhorreth wrong.

Verse 3

God on the wicked will rain down His brimstone, fire, and snares; The gloom and tempest of His frown— This portion shall be theirs.

Verse 4

The righteous Lord will take delight Alone in righteousness; The just are pleasing in His sight, The humble He will bless.
