Today’s hymn is another one from Gregory Wilbur, who makes excellent songs for the church to sing. This text is from Psalm 125 and taken from the 1912 Psalter used in Reformed Churches in America. Enjoy!

All who, with heart confiding, depend on God alone, 
like Zion’s mount abiding, shall not be overthrown. 
Like Zion’s city, bounded by guarding mountains broad, 
his people are surrounded forever by their God. 

No scepter of oppression shall hold unbroken sway, 
lest unto base transgression the righteous turn away. 
Your favor be imparted to godly people, Lord; 
bless all that are pure-hearted, the good with good reward. 

All those who evil cherish, forsaking truth and right, 
with wicked ones shall perish; God will their sin requite. 
From sin your saints defending, their joy, O Lord, increase, 
with mercy never-ending and everlasting peace.
