Boasting the LORD
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Let not a wise man boast wisdom,
Nor a strong man boast of his strength;
Nor kings with wealth of their kingdom,
Their pride persists for a long length.
Let him who glorifies glory,
For he does understand the Lord;
He outwears not telling the story,
Of whom he has loved and adored.
The Lord practices steadfast love,
Justice and righteousness on earth;
As blessings flow from up above,
Given to you a priceless worth.
For these things, I delight in God,
The days are nigh to come His wrath;
Punishing those who do not laud,
And will be smitten in their path.
