Refrain Lord, ev'ry nation on earth will adore you, O God. Lord, ev'ry nation on earth will adore you. 1. Endow our leaders, O God, with your judgment. And with your justice on ev’ryone. For you govern your people with justice, and your afflicted ones with righteousness. 2. Justice shall flower in your days, and peace till the moon be no more. May your kingdom reach from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. 3. Tarshish and the Isles shall bring tribute, gifts from Seba and Arabia. All other powers shall pay their homage, and ev’ry nation shall serve the Lord. 4. For you shall rescue the poor when they cry out, and the afflicted when help can’t be found. You shall raise up the lowly and the poor, and those on high shall be cast down.
