Tune: Quam Dilecta
('We love the place, O God')
Psalm 129 parts
*********
Save, Lord, from troubles sore
Those lowly, oppressed, poor
Displaced, troubled, distressed
Bring them your peace and rest
The LORD is righteous, He
A strong support shall be
Cuts in pieces the cords
Where enemy o'erlords
Let them be put to shame
That hate the LORD, His name
let them be as grass, so
Wither before full grown
Nor say to them, "God bless
And prosper you", no less
No "Good bye", no "God be
With you" in evil, see
But peace and harmony
True justice pray there be
Help vulnerable, free
Them from all tyranny

Good one Orchi
