Rise up, Thy Judge of the earth Pay back to the proud what they deserve He will repay them for their sins And destroy them for their wickedness The wicked will see and be vexed Will gnash their teeth and waste fast The Cords of d**h entangled me The anguish of the grave Brought me down on my knees Uphold me and I will be delivered Your statutes are my heritage for ever My heart is set on keeping Your decrees They are the joy of my soul I gain understanding from thy perceptions Therefore I hate darkest hours Fulfill my vows in Your precence
I have been oppressed from my youth Out of the depths I cry to you My eyes are dim with sorrow and grief The wrath lies heavily upon me From conception I have been close to d**h Suffered terrors and now I am in despair Blessed, whose ways are blameless And those who proclaim and keep His statutes What's happening to my soul Downcasting me Therefore I remember you Deliver me What's happening to my soul Downcasting me Therefore I remember you Deliver me Rise up, Thy Judge of the earth
