The Lord, the Judge, before his throne
Bids the whole earth draw nigh,
The nations near the ris
The Lord, the Judge, before his throne
Bids the whole earth draw nigh,
The nations near the ris
Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.

If honor raise them high,
Live like the beast, a thoughtless race,
And like the beast they die
“The poor are in danger from undue desire toward the wealth of the world, as rich people from undue delight in it. “
Why should I fear in the days of evil,
When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
With joy thy people stand
On Zion’s chosen hill,
Proclaim the wonders of thy hand,
And counsels of thy will.
Oft have our fathers told,
our eyes have often seen,
how well our God secures the fold
where His own sheep have been
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
In the city of our God,
In His holy mountain.
Oh for a shout of sacred joy
To God the sov’reign King!
Let ev’ry land their tongues employ,
And hymns of triumph sing.
Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
For the Lord Most High is awesome;
He is a great King over all the earth.
God is the refuge of his saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade; ere we can offer our complaints behold him present with his aid!
