Justice Reigns: A Hymn of Hope – Psalm 94
Verse 1
O Lord, the God who avenges,
shine forth and bring justice to earth.
Rise up, Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.
Chorus
Justice reigns, justice reigns,
hope is found in Your righteous name.
Justice reigns, justice reigns,
Your love and mercy never change.
Verse 2
How long will the wicked, O Lord,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?
They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.
Chorus
Justice reigns, justice reigns,
hope is found in Your righteous name.
Justice reigns, justice reigns,
Your love and mercy never change.
Verse 3
They crush your people, O Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.
They slay the widow and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.
Chorus
Justice reigns, justice reigns,
hope is found in Your righteous name.
Justice reigns, justice reigns,
Your love and mercy never change.
Bridge
But the Lord has become my fortress,
and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
He will repay them for their sins
and destroy them for their wickedness.
Chorus
Justice reigns, justice reigns,
hope is found in Your righteous name.
Justice reigns, justice reigns,
Your love and mercy never change.
Outro
The Lord is a God who avenges;
O God who avenges, shine forth.
Rise up, Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.
