Pause. 7 Rest in the Lord, and keep his way, Nor let your anger rise, Though providence should long delay, To punish haughty vice. 8 Let sinners join to break your peace, And plot, and rage, and foam; The Lord derides them, for he sees Their day of vengeance come. 9 They have drawn out the threatening sword, Have bent the murderous bow, To slay the men that fear the Lord, And bring the righteous low. 10 My God shall break their bows, and burn Their persecuting darts, Shall their own swords against them turn, And pierce their stubborn hearts.

The righteous in His glorious day Shall flourish and increase; The earth, until the moon shall fade, Shall have abundant peace. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
