Be Thou My Helper in the Strife
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #67 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Be Thou my helper in the strife,
O Lord, my strong Defender be;
Thy mighty shield protect my life,
Thy spear confront the enemy.
Amid the conflict, O my Lord,
Thy precious promise let me hear,
The faithful, reassuring word:
I am thy Savior, do not fear.
2 Ashamed, confounded let them be
Who seek my ruin and disgrace;
O let Thy angel fight for me,
And drive my foes before his face.
Without a cause my life they sought,
Without a case their plots they laid;
Themselves within their snares be caught,
And be my crafty foes dismayed.
3 My soul is joyful in the Lord,
In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice.
For who, O Lord, is like to Thee,
Defender of the poor and meek?
The needy Thy salvation see
When mighty foes their ruin seek.
4 Unrighteous witnesses have stood
And told of crimes beyond belief;
Returning evil for my good,
They overwhelm my soul with grief.
When in affliction they were sad,
I wept and made their grief my own;
But in my trouble they are glad
And strive that I may be o'erthrown.
5 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay?
My soul for Thy salvation waits;
My thankfulness I will display
Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates.
Let not my enemies rejoice
And wrongfully exult o'er me;
They speak not peace, but lift their voice
To trouble those that peaceful be.
6 My foes with joy my woes survey,
But Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all;
O be no longer far away,
Nor silent when on Thee I call.
O haste to my deliverance now,
O Lord, my righteous cause maintain;
My Lord and God alone art Thou;
Awake, and make thy justice plain.
7 O Lord my God, I look to Thee,
Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray;
Let not my foes exult o'er me
And laugh with joy at my dismay.
With shame and trouble those requite
Who would my righteous cause destroy;
But those who in the good delight,
Let them be glad and shout for joy.
8 Yea, let the Lord be magnified,
Because Thy servants Thou dost bless;
And I, from morn till eventide,
Will daily praise Thy righteousness.
My soul is joyful in the Lord,
In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice. Scripture: Psalm 35 Languages: English Tune Title: HE LEADETH ME
Be Thou My Helper in the Strife
The Good Man's Steps Are Led Aright
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #72 (1934) Meter: 8.8.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 The good man's steps are led aright,
His way is pleasing in God's sight,
Established it shall stand;
He shall not perish though he fall,
The mighty Lord, who rules o'er all,
Upholds him with His hand.
2 Though I am old who young have been,
No saint have I forsaken seen,
Nor yet his home in need;
He ever lends in gracious ways,
His life true charity displays,
His sons are blest indeed.
3 Depart from evil, do thou well,
And evermore securely dwell;
Jehovah loves the right.
His faithfulness His saints have proved,
Forever they shall stand unmoved,
But sinners God will smite.
4 The righteous, through His favoring hand,
Shall yet inherit all the land
And dwell therein for aye;
He talks of wisdom and of right,
In God's pure law is his delight,
His steps go not astray.
5 The wicked, watching for their prey,
Desire the righteous man to slay,
But God is on his side;
He will not leave him in their hands,
Nor count him guilty when he stands
In judgment to be tried.
6 Wait on the Lord and keep His way;
He will exalt thee, nor delay
To give the land to thee;
And when the wicked are cut off,
The wicked who against thee scoff,
Their judgment thou shalt see.
7 The wicked in great power are seen,
Like spreading tree with foliage green
That grows in native ground.
I looked again, they were no more;
I sought the men so proud before,
But they could not be found.
8 Mark thou the upright day by day,
Behold the perfect in his way,
His journey ends in peace.
Destroyed at once shall rebels be;
Cut off from all posterity,
Their very name shall cease.
9 Salvation is from God alone,
Whom as their covert saints have known
When by sore troubles tried;
The Lord, who helped in troubles past,
Will save them to the very last,
For they in Him confide.

As Thirsts the Hart for Water Brooks
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #81 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 As thirsts the hart for water brooks,
So thirsts my soul, O God, for Thee;
It seeks for God, and ever looks
And longs the living God to see,
And longs the living God to see.
2 Far from the courts of God, my tears
Have been my food by night and day,
While constantly with bitter sneers,
Where is thy God? the scoffers say,
Where is thy God? the scoffers say.
3 With grief I think of days gone by,
when oft I trod the hallowed way
To Zion, praising God on high
With throngs who kept the holy day,
With throngs who kept the holy day.
4 O why art thou cast down, my soul,
And why so troubled shouldst thou be?
Hope thou in God, and Him extol,
Who gives His saving help to me,
Who gives His saving help to me.
5 Since, O my God, my soul is bowed,
In exile far, with bitter grief,
I turn my thoughts to Thy abode
For consolation and relief,
For consolation and relief.
6 With mighty voice deep calls to deep,
While raging storms Thy judgments tell;
The angry billows o'er me leap,
The waves of sorrow near me swell,
The waves of sorrow near me swell.
7 Thought troubles surge, yet through the day
The Lord His gracious help will give,
And in the night my heart shall pray
And sing to Him in Whom I live,
And sing to Him in Whom I live.
8 To God my rock I cry and say:
O why hast Thou forgotten me?
Why go I mourning on my way,
Oppressed by foes that know not Thee?
Oppressed by foes that know not Thee?
9 With anguish as from piercing sword
Reproach of bitter foes I hear,
While day by day, with taunting word,
Where is thy God? the scoffers sneer,
Where is thy God? the scoffers sneer.
10 O why art thou cast down, my soul,
And why so troubled shouldst thou be?
Hope thou in God, and Him extol,
Who gives His saving help to me,
Who gives His saving help to me. Scripture: Psalm 42 Languages: English Tune Title: BACA

Protect and Save Me, O My God
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Blue) #107 (1976) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Scripture: Psalm 59 Languages: English Tune Title: KATHERINE
Protect and Save Me, O My God
Jehovah, to My Prayer Give Ear
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #107 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, to my prayer give ear,
Nor hide Thee from my cry;
Attend my sad complaint, and hear
My restless moan and sigh.
My enemies lift up their voice,
The violent oppress;
To do me wrong my foes rejoice,
And love my soul's distress.
2 Sore pained in heart I find no ease,
Death's terrors fill my soul,
Great fear and trembling on me seize,
And horrors o'er me roll.
O had I wings, I sigh and say,
Like some swift dove to roam,
Then would I hasten far away
And find a peaceful home.
3 Lo, wandering far my rest should be
In some lone desert waste;
I from the stormy wind would flee,
And to a shelter haste.
O Lord, their malice recompense,
Their wicked tongues confound,
For in the city violence
And bitter strife abound.
4 They walk her walls both night and day,
Within all vices meet;
Oppression, fraud, and crime hold sway,
Nor leave the crowded street.
No foreign foe provokes alarm,
But enemies within;
May God destroy their power to harm
And recompense their sin. Scripture: Psalm 55 Languages: English Tune Title: VOX DILECTI
Jehovah, to My Prayer Give Ear
O God, Be Merciful
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #110 (1934) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 O God, be merciful,
Be merciful to me,
For man, with constant hate,
Would fain my ruin see.
My many enemies
Against me proudly fight;
To overwhelm my soul
They watch from morn to night.
2 What time I am afraid
I put my trust in Thee;
In God I rest, and praise
His word, so rich and free.
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm,
With God my Helper near.
3 All day they wrest my words,
Their thoughts are full of hate;
They meet, they lurk, they watch,
As for my soul they wait.
Shall they be wickedness
Escape Thy judgment right?
O God of righteousness,
Destroy them in Thy might.
4 Thou knowest all my woes,
O treasure Thou my tears;
Are thy not in Thy book,
Where all my life appears?
My foes shall backward turn
When I appeal to Thee,
For this I surely know,
That God is still for me.

O God, Be Merciful
