Just Judgement

Tune: St Helen [Series: Hymns with Saints Tunes 12]

('Lord enthroned in heavenly splendour')

Psalm 75

********************

Unto you, O God, do we give

Thanks, you the Lord ever live

For your name is near, your wondrous

Works declare, made known to us

When He shall receive the people

He will righteously judge all

The earth and all inhabitants

Be dissolved, if He from hence

Bears not up earth's pillars, it stands

By work of His mighty hand

He said to the boastful, Deal not

Boastfully, give a fair lot

He said to the wicked, Lift not

Your head proudly, as if got

All things here of your own doing

For the Lord upraisings bring

Not from east, west, south, nor the north

But from the Lord, give Him worth

God is the judge, He sets down one

Sets up another, 'tis done

For in His hand there a cup be

Wine red, full of mixture, see

He pours it out, but the wicked

Drink the dregs, that be their stead

But I will will declare for ever

Sing praises to God, never

Cease, for all the wicked's strength He

Will cut off, the no more be

But the strength of the righteous shall

Be exalted, they shall tell
