Do not lift up your hand
Against the Lord's anointed.
Submit you to the man
By Providence appointed.
And though they persecute,
Yet do not seek vengeance.
For judgment's not with you,
But on our Savior hinges.
Believe that God will bring
Full justice to our nation.
And He will intervene,
To bring about salvation.
And He will snatch my case
From earthly judges' purview.
He'll blot out my disgrace
And bring about my rescue.
Though I make my defense,
Confronting my offender,
I trust not to my sense,
But to my Christ Defender.
For Christ alone gives peace,
His way alone enduring.
In Him my strivings cease,
I rest to His assuring.
