Tune: Repton
(\'Dear Lord and Father of mankind\')
Psalm 9 parts
********
The Lord He will a refuge be
For the oppressed, here see
A stronghold in times of trouble
Wil hear us when we to Him call
And we shall not here fall
And we shall not here fall
And they that know His name, they will
Put their trust in Him still
For you, Lord, have not forsaken
They that do seek you among men* (*mankind)
They find you remain then
They find you remain then
The Lord is known by the judgement
Which He works, it be sent
By Him, and the wicked are snared
By their deeds, for they have not cared
Meditate#, they ill-fared
Meditate, they ill-fared
Arise, Lord, let not man prevail
Your judgement shall not fail
Let people be judged in your sight
That they may know they of small might
And mere men in your light
And mere men in your light
