The Cure of Envy, Fretfulness, and Unbelief; or, The Rewards of the Righteous and the Wicked
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #66 (1786) Topics: End of Righteous and Wicked; End of Righteous and Wicked First Line: Why should I vex my soul, and fret Lyrics: 1 Why should I vex my soul, and fret
To see the wicked rise?
Or envy sinners waxing great,
By violence and lies?
2 As flowery grass cut down at noon,
Before the evening fades,
So shall their glories vanish soon,
In everlasting shades.
3 Then let me make the Lord my truth,
And practise all that’s good;
So shall I dwell among the just,
And He provide me food.
4 I to my God my ways commit,
And cheerful wait his will;
Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet,
Shall my desires fulfil.
5 Mine innocence shalt thou display,
And make thy judgments known,
Fair as the light of dawning day,
And glorious as the noon.
6 The meek at last the earth possess,
And are the heirs of heaven;
True riches, with abundant peace,
To humble souls are given.
Pause.
7 Rest in the Lord, and keep his way,
Nor let your anger rise,
Though providence should long delay,
To punish haughty vice.
8 Let sinners join to break your peace,
And plot, and rage, and foam;
The Lord derides them, for he sees
Their day of vengeance come.
9 They have drawn out the threatening sword,
Have bent the murderous bow,
To slay the men that fear the Lord,
And bring the righteous low.
10 My God shall break their bows, and burn
Their persecuting darts,
Shall their own swords against them turn,
And pierce their stubborn hearts. Scripture: Psalm 37:1-15 Languages: English

The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #3 (1740) Topics: End of Righteous and Wicked First Line: Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet Lyrics: 1 Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet
Shun the broad Way that Sinners go,
Who hates the Place where Atheists meet,
And fears to talk as Scoffers do.
2 He loves t' employ the Morning-Light
Amongst the Statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful Hours of Night,
With Pleasure, pondering o'er the Word.
3 He like a Plant by gentle Streams,
Shall flourish in immortal Green;
And Heav'n will shine with kindest Beams
On every Work his Hands begin.
4 But Sinners find their Counsels crost;
As Chaff before the Tempest flies,
So shall their Hopes be blown and lost,
When the last Trumpet shakes the Skies.
5 In vain the Rebel seeks to stand
In Judgment with the pious Race:
The dreadful Judge with stern Command,
Divides him to a different Place.
6 "Strait is the Way my Saints have trod,
"I blessed the Path, and drew it plain;
"But you would chuse the crooked Road;
"And down it leads to endless Pain." Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
