Divine Retribution for Evil

Hymnal: The Psalter #300 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Retribution Threatened First Line: O God, Whom I delight to praise Lyrics: 1 O God, Whom I delight to praise, To Thee my cry for help I raise; Be Thou my friend and advocate When foes assail with bitter hate. 2 Against me sland'rous words are flung From many a false and lying tongue; Without a cause men hurl at me The shafts of deadly enmity. 3 My good with evil they repay, My love turns not their hate away; The part of vengeance, Lord, is Thine, To pray, and only pray, is mine. 4 Since love appeals to him in vain, The slave of sin let him remain; Against him let his foe be turned, His sin be judge, his prayer be spurned. 5 Let sudden death upon him break, His office let another take, His children and his widowed wife Pursue the homeless beggar's life. 6 Let creditors consume his toil And strangers make his wealth their spoil; Let none in pity heed his claim, Cut off his race, blot out his name. 7 His parents' sins be not forgot Till Thou from earth his memory blot, Since he remembered not to show Compassion to the sons of woe. 8 He cursing loved and blessing loathed; Unblest, with cursing he is clothed; For thus the justice of the Lord My adversaries will reward. 9 O God, the Lord, for Thy Name's sake Let me of Thy good grace partake; My need is great, and great Thou art To heal my wounded, stricken heart. 10 With failing strength I fast and pine, Like shadows swift my days decline, And when my foes my weakness see They shake the head in scorn at me. 11 O Lord my God, Thy help I crave, In Thy great loving-kindness save; Before my foes Thy mercy show; That Thou dost help me make them know. 12 What though they curse, if Thou wilt bless? Then joy shall banish my distress, And shame shall overwhelm the foes Who would Thy servant's way oppose. 13 Thanksgiving to the Lord I raise, The multitude shall hear my praise, For by the needy God will stand To save them from oppression's hand. Scripture: Psalm 109 Languages: English Tune Title: MEROE

The Lord the Righteous Judge

Hymnal: The Psalter #16 (1912) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Retribution Inflicted; Retribution Threatened First Line: Wholehearted thanksgiving to Thee will I bring Lyrics: 1 Wholehearted thanksgiving to Thee I will bring; In praise of Thy marvelous works I will sing, In Thee I will joy and exultingly cry Thy Name I will praise, O Jehovah Most High. 2 My enemies turn and are scattered in fear, They stumble and perish because Thou art near; For Thou hast defended my right and my cause, Thou sittest in judgment, upholding Thy laws. 3 Rebuked are the nations, the wicked destroyed, Their memory perished, their dwelling-place void; Enthroned and eternal, Jehovah shall reign, The peoples to judge and the right to maintain. 4 Thou, Lord, art a refuge for all the oppressed; All trust Thee who know Thee, and trusting are blest; For never, O Lord, did Thy mercy forsake The soul that has sought of Thy grace to partake. 5 Give praise to Jehovah, the mighty deeds tell Of Him Who has chosen in Zion to dwell, Of Him to Whom justice and vengeance belong, Who visits the lowly and overthrows wrong. 6 Behold my affliction, Thy mercy accord, And back from death's portals restore me, O Lord, That I in the gates of Thy Zion may raise My song of salvation and show forth Thy praise. 7 The sins of the nations their ruin have wrought, Their own evildoing destruction has brought; In this the Lord's justice eternally stands, That sinners are snared in the work of their hands. 8 The wicked shall perish, the nations shall fall Forgetting their God, Who is God over all; But God will remember the prayer of the weak, Most surely fulfilling the hope of the meek. 9 Arise in Thy justice, O Lord, and Thy might, No longer let sinners prevail in Thy sight; Great Judge of the nations, in judgment appear To humble the proud and to teach them to fear.

Complaint Against the Wicked

Hymnal: The Psalter #18 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Retribution Belongs to God; Retribution Threatened First Line: Why standest Thou afar, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Why standest Thou afar, O Lord, Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour? The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless pow'r. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God Who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English Tune Title: BRIGGS

Hymnal: The Psalter #216 (1912) Topics: Retribution Belongs to God; Retribution Threatened First Line: In Thy heritage the heathen Lyrics: 1 In Thy heritage the heathen Now, O God, triumphant stand; They defile Thy holy temple, They destroy Thy chosen land; Ruthless, they have slain Thy servants, They have caused Thy saints to mourn, In the sight of all about us We endure reproach and scorn. 2 O how long against Thy people Shall Thy anger burn, O Lord? On Thy enemies, the heathen, Be Thy indignation poured; Smite the kingdoms that defy Thee, Calling not upon Thy Name. They have long devoured Thy people And have swept Thy land with flame. 3 O remember not against us Evil by our fathers wrought; Haste to help us in Thy mercy, Near to ruin we are brought; Help us, God of our salvation, For the glory of Thy Name; For Thy Name's sake come and save us, Take away our sin and shame. 4 Let Thy foes no longer scorn Thee, Now avenge Thy servants slain; Loose the pris'ner, save the dying, All Thy enemies restrain; Then Thy flock, Thy chosen people, Unto Thee Thy thanks shall raise, And to ev'ry generation, We will sing Thy glorious praise.
