THE LORD UPHOLDS THE RIGHTEOUS

The Psalmist observed the activities of the wicked;

Their hearts seemed to be filled with so much hatred.

They plot against the Just with evil intentions;

They gnash their teeth in their contemplations.

 

They draw out their sword bent on killing;

They have no qualms about their evil desiring.

They bend their bows to shoot at the poor and needy;

They seek to increase wealth, though they have plenty.

 

But they did not reckon with the LORD;

They have forgotten the power of God!

Their schemes would come to nothing;

God is sovereign over everything!

 

The righteous need not be worried;

The LORD would meet all their needs.

God would uphold the truly Righteous;

He would bless them for they are Just.
