A
Reflection on the 73rd Psalm
Is it
for nothing we live just
and
righteous, holy in His sight,
when
all around is greed and lust?
Will
not our God always do right?
The
world can be cruel and cold;
around us there’s more dark than light;
the
evil laugh, and count their gold.
Will
not our God always do right?
The
culture revels, full of pride,
and
violence is its delight;
vulgarity reigns, far and wide.
Will
not our God always do right?
What
hope is there, when all seems lost?
And
yet, we’ll carry on the fight,
not
fainting, nor counting the cost.
Will
not our God always do right?
The
wicked will make a bad end,
will
surely fall from their great height;
on
Providence we will depend.
Will
not our God always do right?
Our
hearts were grieved, for we forgot
the
scope of our Creator’s might;
His
grace and mercy fail us not.
Will
not our God always do right?
