Psalm 4
Words: The Psalter for Christian Worship, Michael Morgan
| Music: 10s | "Slane" |
A Lament
God of all righteousness, hear when I pray,
In my distress be my hope and my stay;
Long I have suffered revilement and shame,
Great God of mercy, I call on Your name.
Angry, yet silent, I know there will be
Justice according to holy decree;
Never to answer corruption in kind,
But in Your promise true peace will I find.
When those around me my faith would confound,
May I rejoice in Your gifts that abound;
Peace and assurance all discord withstand,
Safely I rest in the palm of Your hand.
