9	Psalm 9	LM
	SING to the Lord, Who here proclaims,    His various and His saving names; And may they not be words alone, But by our sure experience known!
2	Our God Almighty be adored, Eternal, all-sufficient Lord! This righteous Lord for ever reigns; Justice and truth He still maintains.
3	The sovereign Judge prepares His throne, And will His awesome power make known To vindicate the righteous cause, If mortals dare defy His laws.
4	Awake our noblest powers to bless The God of Ages—God of Peace; Yet by a dearer title known— Father and God of Christ His Son.
5	Through every age His gracious ear Is open to His servant’s prayer; Nor can one humble soul complain, That it has sought the Lord in vain.
6	To Thee our souls in faith arise, To Thee we lift expectant eyes; And boldly through this desert tread, For Thou wilt guard where Thou shalt lead.
	Philip Doddridge, 1702-51
