The Lord Takes Pleasure In Those Who Fear Him - Psalm 147: 10-12
God delights in what pleases Him
so to mark out what's His good pleasure
it's not a horse's strength nor in man's leg
but God's not impressed with a human measure
What makes God's pleasure so divine
is seeing His image He has created
showing true godly reverential fear
which word of God has clearly stated
God is the Lord who is steadfast
this shows in His love so ever full
knowing you can have a certain hope
in which produces a real true jewel
Now it is right and indeed proper
to bring praise to God on high
for He deserves our Thanksgiving
since loving us in eternal heaven
Indeed the Lord has great pleasure
in His own who fill with fear
bow in humility at God's throne
knowing this great God is always near
("His delight is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who hope in his steadfast love.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!")
Psalm 147: 10-12 (ESV)
