With the ark Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest, Let thy priest be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3 Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David's sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne. 4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This my resting-place forever, Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad. 5 I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow, On the path of My Anointed I will make a lamp to glow; All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame, But His crown shall ever flourish Blessed be His holy Name, But His crown shall ever flourish, Blessed be His holy Name.

Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me. 5 Since, O my God, my soul is bowed, In exile far, with bitter grief, I turn my thoughts to Thy abode For consolation and relief, For consolation and relief. 6 With mighty voice deep calls to deep, While raging storms Thy judgments tell; The angry billows o'er me leap, The waves of sorrow near me swell, The waves of sorrow near me swell. 7 Thought troubles surge, yet through the day The Lord His gracious help will give, And in the night my heart shall pray And sing to Him in Whom I live, And sing to Him in Whom I live. 8 To God my Rock I cry and say, O why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning on my way, Oppressed by foes that know not Thee, Oppressed by foes that know not Thee? 9 With anguish as from piercing sword Reproach of bitter foes I hear, While day by day, with taunting word Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer, Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer. 10 O why art thou cast down, my soul, And why so troubled shouldst thou be? Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me. Scripture: Psalm 42 Languages: English Tune Title: BACA
