The Psalter ‎#179

179. Invocation and Praise

1 Let God arise, and by His might
Let all His foes be put to to flight;
But, O ye righteous, gladly sing,
Exult before your God and King.

2 Jehovah's praises sound abroad,
Rejoice before the living God;
Prepare the way that He may come
And make the desert places bloom.

3 A father of the fatherless,
A judge of widows in distress,
Is God, the God of boundless grace,
Who dwells within His holy place.

4 God frees the captive and He sends
The blessedness of home and friends,
And only those in darkness stay
Who will not trust Him and obey.
