O Thou Whose Justice Reigns on High (EN 1061)

EN 1061 O Thou Whose Justice Reigns on High

Ps.56.1

Versi Version 1

1

O Thou whose justice reigns on high,

And makes th’oppressor cease,

Behold how envious sinners try

To vex and break my peace.

2

The sons of violence and lies

Join to devour me, Lord;

But as my hourly dangers rise,

My refuge is Thy Word.

3

In God most holy, just, and true,

I have reposed my trust;

Nor will I fear what flesh can do,

The offspring of the dust.

4

They wrest my words to mischief still,

Charge me with unknown faults;

Mischief doth all their counsels fill,

And malice all their thoughts.

5

Shall they escape without Thy frown?

Must their devices stand?

O cast the haughty sinner down,

And let him know Thy hand.

6

God counts the sorrows of His saints,

Their groans affect His ears;

Thou hast a book for my complaints,

A bottle for my tears.

7

When to Thy throne I raise my cry,

The wicked fear and flee;

So swift is prayer to reach the sky,

So near is God to me.

8

In Thee, most holy, just, and true,

I have reposed my trust;

Nor will I fear what man can do,

The offspring of the dust.

9

Thy solemn vows are on me, Lord,

Thou shalt receive my praise;

I’ll sing, “How faithful is Thy Word,

How righteous all Thy ways!”

10

Thou hast secured my soul from death,

O set Thy pris’ner free!

That heart and hand, and life and breath,

May be employ’d for Thee.
