Tune: Aberystwyth
(\'Jesu, lover of my soul\')
Psalm 94 v.14-23 parts
**********
The LORD will not abandon
His people, not e\'en one
His inheritance He will
Not forsake, preserve it still
But judgement it shall return
Unto righteousness, and learn
All the upright in heart sure
Shall follow it evermore
Who will rise up for the LORD
Against the evil? His word
Speak to them, or for Him stand
Against evil workers hand?
Unless the LORD had been my
Help, and if He passed me by
My soul would have soon dwelt in
Silence, been downcast within
When I said, My foot slips, your
Mercy, LORD, upheld me sure
In multitude of my thoughts
Your comforts, LORD, me have brought
Delight to my soul, shall throne
Of evil fellowship own
With you, good and gracious King?
No, you shall your judgements bring
The LORD He is my defence
My God, rock of refuge hence
He shall judge righteously, end
Wickedness, His vengeance send
it belongs to Him alone
It by Him perfectly shown
He shall cut off enemies
His rule and reign then all see
