Almighty Lord God who judges the earth
Arise give the proud just what they deserve
How long will they boast and in arrogance mock
Oppressing the people you take as your flock

They say God will not observe what they do
That He will not see the sins they pursue
The widows they murder the fatherless snare
And strangers they kill thinking God does not care

You fools our God knows how senseless you are
For He who made all can see near and far
Is God who first fashioned your eye and your ear
Unable to see you unable to hear

The people you teach and discipline Lord
Are happy and blest to learn from your word
For you grant relief to all those in despair
Allowing them peace till the wicked are snared

O Lord you will not abandon your own
Nor ever forsake them nor leave them alone
Your justice will dawn for all those who do right
And those who are upright will follow its light

Who helps me to fight sin's mighty offense
Who will be my shield and my sure defense
Unless God had helped me when evil oppressed
I too would have slipped into silence and death

Whenever I fall I pleadingly cry
Then your loving hand Lord holds me up high
If my heart should doubt and be filled with despair
Your comfort brings joy and I know that you care

Corruption cannot be allied with you
Injustice cannot be legal or true
For you Lord will never conspire with our foes
Who gather together increasing our woes

The Lord is my Rock invincible strong
He punishes all who perpetrate wrong
Our God will repay them for sins they have sown
But He will have mercy and love for His own
