Forget Not The Afflicted (Psalm 10) Lyrics

Why, O Lord, do You stand so far away?

Do You hear my troubled voice endure the pain?

For the wicked boast aloud of His own gain

And the greedy one will curse and cede Your name

The enemy will hotly seek the poor

In their pride they think, "There truly is no God."

For Your judgments are on high and out of sight

He puffs at all His foes with all His might

Arise, O Lord, O God

Lift up Your hand!

Forget not the afflicted

Arise, O Lord, O God

We seek Your plan!

Forget not the afflicted

In their heart they will say, "I shall not be moved."

And their mouths are filled with cursing and deceit

Beneath their tongues are deep iniquities

But soon they will be underneath our feet

We are crushed, sunk down, overcome by their might

Though I fight a thousand battles, I am never out of sight!

You are here, You are true

I can trust in Your Name

Though Your face is not before me

All Your promises remain!

Arise, O Lord, O God

Lift up Your hand!

Forget not the afflicted

Arise, O Lord, O God

We seek Your plan!

Forget not the afflicted

Arise, O Lord, O God

Lift up Your hand!

Forget not the afflicted

Arise, O Lord, O God

We seek Your plan!

Forget not the afflicted

The Lord is King forevermore

The nations perish from His land

O Lord, You hear the craving of the humble

Justice will be done in this dark land

The Lord is King forevermore

The nations perish from His land

O Lord, You hear the craving of the humble

Justice will be done in this dark land

The Lord is King forevermore

The nations perish from His land

O Lord, You hear the craving of the humble

Justice will be done in this dark land
