God Is The Judge (Psalm 75)

“The horns of the righteous shall be exalted.” Psalm 75:10

From the Album The Psalms

I said to the mad one
Don’t be insane
Swallow your pride
Don’t speak in vain
Into the sunrise
Nor the sunset
Nor from the wilderness
Will your needs be met

God is the judge
Who lifts up
And who lowers one

The mad one declared
What good has your God done?
Since creating
The earth, moon, and sun
Building ladders
To lower women and men
To lift up others
More deserving than them

God is the judge
Who lifts up
And who lowers one

When the wine is strong
And the pouring is full
Only the dregs
Will the rich one know
To the ends of the earth
I will tell, I will sing
To the God of all creation
To whom my soul clings

God is the judge
Who lifts up
And who lowers one
