Shall once enquire for blood;
The humble souls that mourn in dust,
Shall find a faithful God.
2 He from the dreadful gates of death
Does his own children raise;
In Zion’s gates, with cheerful breath,
They sing their Father’s praise.
3 His foes shall fall, with heedless feet,
Into the pit they made;
And sinners perish in the net
That their own hands have spread.
4 Thus by thy judgements, mighty God,
Are thy deep counsels known:
When men of mischief are destroyed,
In snares that were their own.
Pause.
5 The wicked shall sink down to hell;
Thy wrath devour the lands
That dare forget thee, or rebel
Against thy known commands.
6 Though saints to sore distress are brought,
And wait, and long complain,
Their cries shall never be forgot,
Nor shall their hopes be vain.
7 [Rise, great Redeemer, from thy seat,
To judge and save the poor;
Let nations tremble at thy feet,
And man prevail no more.
8 Thy thunder shall affright the proud,
And put their hearts to pain,
Make them confess that thou art GOD,
And they but feeble men.] Scripture: Psalm 9:12
