Minister: Lift up your hearts!
Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord!
God is known through Judah’ hills,
His Name is great in Israel.
Salem holds His dwelling place,
His tent of praise on Zion’s mount.
He breaks the arrows and the bows,
The shields and swords, all battle gear.
Our God is greater than the hills of prey,
Our God subdues all warrior blood.
At Your rebuke, O God of all,
The horse and chariot fall in sleep.
When You are angry, who can stand?
You must be feared before all gods.
Your judgments fall from heaven to earth,
The earth stood still, and stood in fear.
When God, our God, arose to judge,
The meek were saved, inheriting.
The wrath of man is turned by You
To praise Your name, despite their hate.
And all the rest, their wasted hate,
You shall restrain, and throw it down.
Pay all your vows unto the Lord,
Bring all your gifts, and fear His name.
He shall cut off the princely air,
And be a terror to all our kings.
And so, gracious Father, we worship You now through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end, amen.
