They Who Invoke Your Name Rehearse Your Wonders

 

We give praise and thanks

to You, O God,

we praise and give thanks;

Your wondrous works declare 

that Your name is near and they

who invoke Your name

rehearse Your wonders.

The ruins of Jamestown Church first built in 1639.

One of the oldest surviving buildings on the site

of the Jamestown Colony in Virginia.

When the proper time has come

for executing My judgments,

I will judge uprightly

says the Lord.

When the earth totters,

 and all the inhabitants of it

it is I Who will poise

and keep steady its pillars.

Selah!

Pause and calmly think of that!

I said to the arrogant and boastful

Deal not arrogantly, do not boast;

and to the wicked,

Lift not up the horn

of personal aggrandizement.

Lift not your aggressive horn on high,

speak not with a stiff neck and insolent arrogance.


For not from the east nor from the west

nor from the south come

promotion and lifting up.

But God is the Judge!


He puts down one and lifts up another.

For in the hand of the Lord

there is a cup of His wrath,

and wine foams

 and its red, well mixed;

and He pours out from it,

and all the wicked of the earth

must drain it and drinks its dregs.

But I will declare and rejoice forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

All the horns of the ungodly also

will I cut off, says the Lord,

but the horns of the

uncompromisingly righteous

shall be exalted.

PSALM 75

To The Chief Musician
Set to the tune of "Do Not Destroy"
A Song of Asaph
