Mercy in the Morning

"Let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.... and grudge if they be not satisfied. But I will sing of Thy power, yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning: for Thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto Thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy" (Psalm 59:14-17).

Lord, I will sing of Your infinite power,
And sing of Your mercy aloud in the morning.
Though mockery grows in this world's late hour,
And blasphemy knows no bounds to its scorning.

So let scorners make their noise like a dog
Returning to vomit, and not satisfied.
You lifted me out of that blasphemous fog,
And gave me a refuge in Jesus who died.

God of my mercy in the day of my trouble,
You are my strength, so to You I will sing!
When all of the strongholds of Satan are rubble,
You shall be crowned as our glorious King!
