HOW GREAT IS YOUR GOODNESS

We live in a world of great uncertainty;

Some wield power with impunity.

The weak are troubled and fearful;

Many are hurt and are sorrowful.

 

The faithful learn to exercise faith in God;

Through trusting he learns to fear the Lord.

He believes firmly in God’s great goodness;

He will trust in the Lord’s righteousness.

 

The trusting heart believes in divine protection;

The Lord would hear and grant preservation.

The faithful need not live in fear and alarm;

The Lord would cause the heart to be calm.

 

God would grant great kindness to His servant;

He had regard to those who are humbly suppliant.

He will shield them from the wiles of the wicked;

Those who fear the Lord would be protected.
