Psalm 9: Holy and Mighty

Psalm 9: Holy and Mighty

Chorus:

Holy and mighty, you reign above,

Righteous and merciful, filled with love.

Just and good your truth remains,

Forever, Lord, you do not change.

Verse 1:

I thank you, Lord, with all my heart,

Your wondrous deeds set you apart.

I will be glad, exult in You,

For who you are and what you do.

Chorus:

Holy and mighty, you reign above,

Righteous and merciful, filled with love.

Just and good your truth remains,

Forever, Lord, you do not change.

Verse 2:

I tell of all the works you’ve done,

Your justice and your victories won.

You lift me up from gates of death,

So I sing praise with every breath.

Chorus:

Holy and mighty, you reign above,

Righteous and merciful, filled with love.

Just and good your truth remains,

Forever, Lord, you do not change.

Verse 3:

You judge the world in righteousness,

Defending those who are oppressed.

A refuge strong for those in need,

Forsaking none whom you have freed.

Chorus:

Holy and mighty, you reign above,

Righteous and merciful, filled with love.

Just and good your truth remains,

Forever, Lord, you do not change.

Bridge:

Arise, O Lord, let nations see,

Your power and your sovereignty.

Confront them with mortality

And in your mercy set them free.

Verse 4: 

The needy and poor remain in your heart

They are not forgotten you set them apart,

For you are their refuge, their trust, and their shield,

You will not forsake them; you hear their appeal.

Chorus:

Holy and mighty, you reign above,

Righteous and merciful, filled with love.

Just and good your truth remains,

Forever, Lord, you do not change.
