Psalms of Grace ‎#101b

101b. Mercy and Judgement Are My Song

1 Mercy and judgement are my song;
And since they both to You belong,
My gracious God, my righteous King,
To You my songs and vows I bring.

2 If I am raised to bear the sword,
I'll take my counsels from Your Word;
Your justice and Your heav'nly grace;
Shall be the pattern of my ways.

3 No sons of slander, rage, and strife;
Shall be compan'ons of my life;
The haughty look, the heart of pride,
Within my doors shall ne'er abide.

4 Let wisdom all my actions guide,
And let my God with me reside;
No wicked thing shall dwell with me,
Which may provoke Your jealousy.
