Why do you stand So far away why? Why would you hide On this troubled day, why? The wicked in pride pursuing the weak catch them in schemes they devise the wicked boasting there is no God let their own words condemn them let their own words condemn them let their own words Arise! Lord my God! Lift up your hands, rise! Don't forget the humble who dwell in the land don't forget the wicked despising God in their hearts thinking no one can judge them but you see it all and you will repay the godless people will perish the nation without you vanish they are no more you know the hopes of all the poor you answer their cries with comfort justice will come for fatherless ones bringing an end to oppression you bring to an end oppression The Lord brings a king forever more his king for all time the Lord brings his king forever more his king for all time no no no more will mortal man terrify your own no no no more will mortal man terrify your own no no more no no more no no more no no more
