Psalm 36B: Psalm 36:5-12

Peace, C.M.D. [B flat]

5. 5 Thy mercy, LORD, extends to heav'n;
        Thy faithfulness, the sky.
6 Thy justice is like mounts of God;
        Thy judgments depths defy.
LORD, Thou preservest man and beast.
        7 How precious, God Thy grace!
Beneath the shadow of Thy wings
        Men's sons their trust shall place.

6. 8 They with the bounty of Thy house
        Shall be well satisfied;
From rivers full of Thy delights
        Thou dost their drink provide.
9 Because the fountain filled with life
        Is only found with Thee;
And in that purest light of Thine
        We clearly light shall see.

7. 10 To them that know Thee, evermore
        Thy lovingkindness show,
And still on men of upright heart
        Thy righteousness bestow.
11 Let not the foot of pride crush me,
        Nor wicked hand detain.
12 There evil-doers fall;
        They cannot rise again.
