Justice Judgements 2

Fits tune: Cruger

(\'Hail to the Lord\'s Anointed\')

Based on part of Psalm 7

**********

In you Lord I put my trust

Who am but small and dust

But save me in your mercy

My persecutors see

Deliver me, lest trouble

Overtake me and be

Like lion that my soul tears

Conscienceless without cares

 

I ask not if me guilty

My soul to here set free

Yet search me, come forgive me

My heart, my mind, you see

Arise Lord, in your anger

Your righteous wrath do stir

For you shall judge us truly

Your favour shall we see

 

O let the wicked deeds end

The dove of peace now send

And the just, right, establish

Fulfil their goodly wish

For you the righteous God try

The hearts, there stands no lie

Before you, for you view all

Reins, conscience of great, small

 

And so your judgements righteous

You do perform, though bless

The upright, those who seek you

Come to them as blessed dew

But daily you are angry

With the wicked, they be

Unable to escape, for

He sees all their deeds sure

 

But hope is if they then turn

And from Him they shall learn

Though if continue sinful

They under wrath dreadful

Yet love, mercy avails still

If they repent, they will

Share in His whole salvation

Christ\'s redeeming work done

 

As for me I shall Him praise

His name extol and raise

Shall praise Him, He is righteous

My heart and voice confess

He Lord of all the nations

Though all evil He shuns

He shall come to us, help us

Great God, you shall us bless
