BE EXALTED IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH

We need not be overly perturbed when the wicked arise;

That they will plot and plan to hurt, must not be a surprise.

But the wicked have not reckoned they deal with God;

They will face the Supreme Judge who is the LORD.

 

We must not harbour feelings of anger and revenge;

The LORD Himself, our righteous God will Himself, avenge.

He will deal with the wicked in His sovereign will;

The unrepentant enemies of God would be stilled.

 

We must shudder at the fate of the wicked;

They are victims of their own hatred.

They will bring sorrow on their children;

This is the reality of God’s will in Heaven.

 

We may rejoice in the LORD and His strength;

His will is inviolate and will reach great length.

May we learn to humbly trust in the LORD!

May we determine to be faithful to our God!
