on Psalm 28

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] 

With hate in heart,
they speak of peace,
don’t care to ask
for mercy, grace.
But I do ask –
don’t close your ear –
I’ll share their fate
if you don’t hear.

But those with no
regard for what
God thinks, don’t want
these gifts he’s got.
My heart exults –
you’ve heard my call:
my Shepherd carries,
me through all.

Draw in, and save
a people who
will  be your own,
and love you too.
Though hated, I’m    
inseparable
from Fortress strong,
impregnable.

“Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again. Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy. …  my heart leaps for joy …be their shepherd and carry them for ever.” Psalm 28: 5-9

Tune:88 88
