The Lord Forever Sits as King

The Lord for­ev­er sits as king;

For judg­ment sets His throne;

In right­eous­ness to judge the world

And jus­tice give each one.

So shall the Lord a re­fuge be

For those that are op­pressed;

A re­fuge will He be for them

What time they are dis­tressed.

And they that know Thy name in Thee

Their con­fi­dence will place:

For Thou hast not for­sak­en them

That tru­ly seek Thy face.

O sing ye prais­es to the Lord

That dwells in Zi­on hill;

Among the peo­ples ev­ery­where

His deeds de­clare ye still.
