13764. How Long, Ye Sons of Men?

1 How long, ye sons of men, will ye
The servant of the Lord despise,
Delight yourselves with vanity,
And trust in refuges of lies?

2 Know that the Lord hath set apart
The godly man in every age;
He loves a meek and lowly heart;
His people are His heritage.

3 Then stand in awe, nor dare to sin;
Commune with your own heart, be still:
The Lord requireth truth within,
The sacrifice of mind and will.
