Psalm 35 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.82 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Afflicted pity to them First Line: Behold the love, the gen'rous love Lyrics: Behold the love, the gen'rous love, That holy David shows; Hark, how his sounding bowels move To his afflicted foes! When they are sick his soul complains, And seems to feel the smart; The spirit of the gospel reigns, And melts his pious heart. How did his flowing tears condole As for a brother dead! And fasting mortified his soul, While for their life he prayed. They groaned, and cursed him on their bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double blessings on his head The righteous God returns. O glorious type of heav'nly grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While sinners curse, the Savior prays, And pities them with tears. He, the true David, Isr'el's King, Blest and beloved of God, To save us rebels, dead in sin, Paid his own dearest blood. Scripture: Psalm 35:12-14 Languages: English

Psalm 35 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.81 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Afflicted pity to them First Line: Now plead my cause, Almighty God Lyrics: Now plead my cause, Almighty God, With all the sons of strife; And fight against the men of blood, Who fight against my life. Draw out thy spear and stop their way, Lift thine avenging rod; But to my soul in mercy say, "I am thy Savior God!" They plant their snares to catch my feet, And nets of mischief spread; Plunge the destroyers in the pit That their own hands have made. Let fogs and darkness hide their way, And slipp'ry be their ground; Thy wrath shall make their lives a prey, And all their rage confound. They fly like chaff before the wind, Before thine angry breath; The angel of the Lord behind Pursues them down to death. They love the road that leads to hell; Then let the rebels die, Whose malice is implacable Against the Lord on high. But if thou hast a chosen few Amongst that impious race, Divide them from the bloody crew, By thy surprising grace. Then will I raise my tuneful voice, To make thy wonders known; In their salvation I'll rejoice, And bless thee for my own. Scripture: Psalm 35:1-9 Languages: English

Deep in the Dust before thy Throne

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXXIV (1766) Topics: Christ His Pity to the Afflicted and Tempted Lyrics: 1 Deep in the Dust before thy Throne Our Guilt and our Disgrace we own; Great God we own th' unhappy Name Whence sprang our Nature and our Shame. 2 Adam the Sinner: At his Fall, Death, like a Conqu'ror seiz'd us all; A Thousand new-born Babes are dead, By fatal Union to their Head. 3 But while our Spirits fill'd with Awe, Behold the Terrors of thy Law; We sing the Honours of thy Grace, That sent to save our ruin'd Race. 4 We sing thine everlasting Son, Who joined our Nature to his own; Adam the Second, from the Dust, Raises the Ruins of the First. [5 By the Rebellion of one Man Through all his Seed the Mischief ran; And by one Man's Obedience now Are all his seed made righteous too.] 6 Where Sin did reign, and Death abound; There have the Sons of Adam found Abounding Life; there glorious Grace Reigns through the Lord our Righteousness.

God Our Advocate and Judge

Hymnal: The Psalter #92 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Pity For Others First Line: Be Thou my helper in the strife 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 Saviour, 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: CATHERINE

The Friend of the Poor

Hymnal: The Psalter #113 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Pity For Others First Line: How blest the man who thoughtfully Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who thoughtfully The poor and weak befriends; Deliv'rance in the evil day To him Jehovah sends. 2 The Lord will keep him, guard his life, On earth he shall be blest; The Lord will not surrender him By foes to be distressed. 3 Upon the bed of suffering Jehovah will sustain, And in his sickness God will soothe The weariness and pain. 4 O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends, Let me Thy mercy see; Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned, I have offended Thee. 5 My enemies against me speak, And they my life have scorned; They wish my name to pass away, Unhonored and unmourned. 6 My foe, deceitful, visits me, By seeming kindness led, His heart intent on gathering Some hurtful news to spread. 7 My foes, together whispering, Their evil plans devise; Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him, Laid low, he shall not rise. 8 Yea, he who was my chosen friend, In whom I put my trust, Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath To crush me in the dust. 9 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace, And raise me up again, That I with justice may requite These base and wicked men. 10 By this I know assuredly That I am loved by Thee, Because my foe does not exult In triumph over me. 11 And as for me, in uprightness Thou dost uphold me well, And settest me before Thy face For evermore to dwell. 12 Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God For evermore. Amen. Let age to age eternally Repeat His praise. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 41 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHPORT
