GOD RULES OVER ALL

An inspiration from ODB Reading of March 25, 2014:



GOD RULES OVER ALL



G od's Word made the heavens & earth

O h let us

D elight in Him



R evere Him people of the world

U nto Him all earth shall fear

L et His plans & purposes

E stàblished on earth

S tand firm



[2nd stanza]

O blessed indeed the nation

V ictorious whose God [is] the Lord

E ver He watches His people

R estores hope, gives salvation



A mazing,

L ove unfailing

L et all rejoice who fear Him



Tune to "For the Beauty of the Earth"



Psalm 33:6-19



By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,

    their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars[a];

    he puts the deep into storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;

    let all the people of the world revere him.

9 For he spoke, and it came to be;

    he commanded, and it stood firm.



10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;

    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.

11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,

    the purposes of his heart through all generations.



12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

    the people he chose for his inheritance.

13 From heaven the Lord looks down

    and sees all mankind;

14 from his dwelling place he watches

    all who live on earth—

15 he who forms the hearts of all,

    who considers everything they do.
