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

O God, Give Thou Ear to My Plea

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #109 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God our Helper Lyrics: 1 O God, give Thou ear to my plea, And hide not Thyself from my cry; O hearken and answer Thou me, As restless and weary I sigh. 2 O that I had wings like a dove, For then I would fly far away And seek for the rest that I love, Where trouble no more could dismay. 3 Nay, soul, call on god all the day; The Lord for Thy help will appear; At eve, morn, and noon humbly pray, And He thy petition will hear. 4 Thy burden now cast on the Lord, And He shall thy weakness sustain; The righteous who trust in His word Unmoved shall forever remain.

Now Israel May Say, and that in Truth

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #280 (1934) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Topics: God our Helper Lyrics: 1 Now Israel may say, and that in truth If that the Lord had not our right maintained, If that the Lord had not with us remained, When cruel men against us rose to strive, We surely had been swallowed up alive 2 Yea, when their wrath against us fiercely rose, The swelling tide had o'er us spread its wave, The raging stream had then become our grave, The surging flood, in proudly selling roll, Must surely then had overwhelmed our soul. 3 Blest be the Lord who made us not their prey; As from the snare a bird escapeth free, Their net is rent and so escaped are we; Our only help is in Jehovah's Name, Who made the earth and all the heavenly frame. Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH
