God's Care of his People, and punishment of Persecutors
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.) #14 (1786) Topics: Appeal to God against persecutors; Persecutors punished; Appeal to God against persecutors; Persecutors punished First Line: My trust is in my heavenly Friend Lyrics: 1 My trust is in my heavenly Friend,
My hope in thee, my God"
Rise, and my helpless life defend,
From those that seek my blood.
2 With insolence and fury they
My soul to pieces tear,
As hungry lions rend the prey
When no deliverer’s near.
3 If e'er my pride provok'd them first,
Or once abused my foe,
Then let them tread my life to dust,
And lay mine honour low.
4 If there be malice found in me,
I know thy piercing eyes;
I should not dare appeal to thee,
Nor ask my God to rise.
5 Arise, my God, lift up thy hand,
Their pride and power controul;
Awake to judgement, and command
Deliverance for my soul.
Pause.
6 Let sinners and their wicked rage
Be humbled to the dust;
Shall not the God of truth engage
To vindicate the just?
7 He knows the heart, he tries the reins,
He will defend th' upright:
His sharpest arrows he ordains
Against the sons of spite.
8 Tho' leagu'd in guile their malice spread,
A snare before my way;
Their mischiefs on their impious head,
His vengeance shall repay.

Must feel his dreadful sword:
Awake my soul, and praise the grace
And justice of the LORD. Scripture: Psalm 7 Languages: English

Perpetual silence keep?
The God of justice hold his peace,
And let his vengeance sleep?
2 Behold what cursed snares
The men of mischief spread:
The men that hate thy saints and thee,
Lift up their threatening head.
3 Against thy hidden ones,
Their counsels they employ,
And malice with her watchful eye
Pursues them to destroy.
4 "Come, let us join, they cry,
"To root them from the ground,
"Till not the name of saints remain,
"Nor memory shall be found."
5 Awake, almighty God,
And call thy wrath to mind;
Give them like forests to the fire,
Or stubble to the wind.
6 Convince their madness, Lord,
And make them seek thy name;
Or else their stubborn rage confound,
That they may die in shame.
7 Then shall the nations know
Thy glorious, dreadful word,
Jehovah is thy name alone,
And thou the sovereign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 83 Languages: English
