See Lord how they sneer with scoffing,
think they are so wise and tough
think they have no need of You, Lord,.
think You don’t care what they do:
what a clamour!
what an uproar!
Ignorant and foolish words!

But You still work out salvation;
how long will You wait – arise!
and defend Your reputation –
don’t hold back, rebuke their lies.
Violence lurking,
evil working:
save Your people from their claws.

*Job 15:25
also: “But you, O God, are my king from of old; you bring salvation upon the earth. …Remember how the enemy has mocked you, O Lord, how foolish people have reviled your name.… Rise up, O God, and defend youor cause;; remember how fools mock you all day long.” Psalm 74:12,18,22

God pre-eminent we worship,
wholly wise and full of grace.
He alone can be the Saviour,
only He can keep us safe:
make us holy,
bring to glory
with such joy before His face.

To Him be all praise and glory,
majesty, dominion, power.
He will keep me through the trials:
Helper in temptation’s hour.
Wonderful King
Do you know Him?;
He’s my Rock and shielding Tower.

Now and always and for ever,
praise to Him the Source of all.
He is truly God almighty,,
in true awe and reverence fall.
Always sovereign,
evermore reign –
for His grace and mercy call.

Jude 24,25 “To Him who is able to keep you … To God our Saviour who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen”
