You Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice

Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #43 (1990) Meter: 8.8.6 D Topics: The Nation Lyrics: 1 You righteous, in the Lord rejoice; it well becomes the good man's voice to sing Jehovah's praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, your gift of sweetest music bring, to him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word; and all the doings of the Lord in faithfulness are wrought. In justice and in judgment right the Lord does ever take delight; with goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns has made, and all the host of them arrayed his breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; he stores away the mighty deep in garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, let all that dwell both far and near in awe before him stand; for, lo, he spoke and it was done, and all, with sovereign pow'r begun, stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, the plans the peoples would maintain are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, his purposes of heart endure, forevermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; and blessed the people are whom he has made his heritage to be, and chosen for his own.
