Tune: Cruger
(\'Hail to the Lord\'s anointed\')
**********
Psalm 9 v.16
How the LORD, how He be known?
Known by His judgement shown
Which He executes truly
The wicked shall snared be
By the work of their own hands
Righteous judgement, all lands
Meditate* on this a while
\'Higgaion\', thoughts compile
Psalm 10 v.16-17
The LORD is King for ever
And abdicates never
His enemies are perished
For they evil cherished
Lord, you have heard the desire
Of humble near and far
Their heart you will them prepare
Will hear them, they well fare
Psalm 11 v.7
For the Lord he is righteous
Comes to us, for to bless
He loves righteousness daily
It be His holy way
His countenance does behold
The upright of His fold
They safe \'neath His wings trusting
He does salvation bring
Psalm 12 v.7
The words of the Lord are pure
They avail evermore
They be as silver tried in
A furnace, fire within
Purified seven times they
Show us the light, the way
Each word perfect and faultless
Word of life, we confess
