Original Music for the 150 Psalms


THE WORDS OF THE LORD ARE LIKE SILVER (PSALM 12) (CCLI 4431017)

1. The words of the Lord are like silver,
refined seven times in a furnace of clay.
The Lord will protect and defend us:
His Word is eternal, and with us alway.

Lord, help us, the godly are gone from the land.
No faithful are left in the children of man.

2. Yet Your Word is flawless like silver,
refined seven times in a furnace of clay.
Your Word will be with and sustain us.
Your Word is eternal and with us alway.

Our Lord sees the evil, the sin, and the lies.
From groans of oppression our God will arise!

3. For Your Word is flawless like silver,
refined seven times in a furnace of clay.
And Your Word is with the afflicted.
Your Word is eternal, and with us alway.

The evil strut freely
but when, only when,
what God regards vile
is honored by men.

4. But, Your Word is flawless like silver,
refined seven times in a furnace of clay.
Our God will protect and defend us:
His Word is eternal, and
with us alway.
Alway!
