I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.
But God will ne’er cast off his saints,
Nor his own promise break
He pardons his inheritance
For their Redeemer’s sake.
I have called you all “gods” and “sons of the Most High.”
They know not, Lord, nor will they know;
Dark are the ways in which they go;
Their name of earthly gods is vain,
For they shall fall and die like men
Have ye forgot, or never knew,
That God will judge the judges too?
See what happens to those who despise God and trust in their wealth, and become ever more bold in their wickedness
My God, the steps of pious men
Are ordered by Thy will;
Though they should fall, they rise again,
Thy hand supports them still.
When sinners fall, the righteous stand,
Preserved from every snare;
They shall possess the promised land,
And dwell for ever there.
Now plead my cause, Almighty God,
With all the sons of strife
