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: Envy and Unbelief cured; Unbelief and envy cured; Envy and Unbelief cured; Unbelief and envy cured 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

And blessed is his seed.

Deep in his heart abide;
Led by the spirit and the word
His feet shall never slide.

Preserv'd from every snare;
They shall possess the promis'd land,
And dwell forever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:16 Languages: English

Nor leave the men he loves.
3 The heavenly heritage is theirs,
Their portion and their home;
He feasts them now, and makes them heirs

Where all that pride had been.

His several steps attend;
True pleasure runs thro' all his ways,
And peaceful is his end. Scripture: Psalm 37:23-37 Languages: English
