| Text: | O LORD, O Judge of All the Earth |
| Tune: | BOURBON |
1 O LORD, O Judge of all the earth,
to Whom all vengeance does belong,
Arise, and shine Your glory forth,
pay back the proud, condemn the wrong.
2 How long, O LORD, shall wicked ones
in boasting pride triumphant be?
How long shall they afflict Your own
and say, "The LORD God does not see?"
3 You senseless fools, take heed and fear;
shall He not see, who formed the eye?
Shall He not hear, who formed the ear,
and judge not, who is Judge on high?
4 O LORD, how richly bless'd are all
You tame, and train, and teach your law!
For in the day that sinners fall,
Your people live forevermore.
5 Unless the LORD had helped again,
in silent death my home would be;
My foot began to slip, but then
Your love, O LORD, supported me.
6 So who will rise against their crimes,
and stand to face the evil day?
Can those whose pow'r corrupts our ties
pretend that God will not repay?
7 The wicked bend their evil pow'r
to bring the just to misery;
But God the LORD shall be my tower,
my Refuge and my Rock is He.
