Let peoples surround Thee and wait at Thy feet, While o'er them for judgment Thou takest Thy seat. 4 All nations of men shall be judged by the Lord; To me, O Jehovah, just judgment accord, As faithful and righteous in life I have been, And ever integrity cherished within. 5 Establish the righteous, let evil depart, For God Who is just tries the tho'ts of the heart. In God for defense I have placed all my trust; The upright He saves and He judges the just. 6 The Lord with the wicked is wroth every day, And if they repent not is ready to slay; By manifold ruin for others prepared They surely at last shall themselves be ensnared. 7 Because He is righteous His praise I will sing, Thanksgiving and honor to Him I will bring, Will sing to the Lord on Whose grace I rely, Extolling the Name of Jehovah Most High.
