Why Standest Thou Afar, O Lord
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #16 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Persecution Of Believers 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 power.
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 power 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: BROOKFIELD
Why Standest Thou Afar, O Lord
In Thee, O Lord, I Put My Trust
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #58 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust,
I call upon Thy Name;
O save me in Thy righteousness,
Nor let me suffer shame.
2 Bow down Thy ear to my request,
And swift deliverance send;
Be Thou to me a rock of strength,
A fortress to defend.
3 Since Thou my rock and fortress art,
My Leader be, and Guide;
From all temptation rescue me,
Thou dost my strength abide.
4 To Thee my spirit I commend;
Redemption is with Thee,
O Thou Jehovah, God of truth,
Who hast delivered me.
5 I hate all those that love the false,
My trust is in the Lord;
I will be glad, and joyfully
Thy mercy will record.
6 For my affliction Thou hast seen,
And known my many woes;
Thou hast not let me be enslaved,
But freed me from my foes.
7 Show mercy, Lord, to me distressed,
And send my soul relief,
My life is spent with bitterness,
My strength consumed with grief.
8 I mourn and fail because of sin,
Friends turn in dread away;
Reproached am I and terrified,
While foes conspire to slay.
9 But, Lord, in Thee is all my trust,
Thou art my God, I cried;
My life, my times are in Thy hand,
I in Thy strength confide.
10 From all that persecute my soul
Deliverance I crave;
O smile upon Thy servant, Lord,
And in Thy mercy save.
11 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord,
I plead with Thee to save;
But let the wicked be ashamed,
And silent in the grave.
12 Yea, let their lips henceforth be mute
Who words of falsehood seek,
The lips which with contempt and pride
Against the righteous speak.
Scripture: Psalm 31 Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI
In Thee, O Lord, I Put My Trust
In Full Assurance of Thy Grace
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #134 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 In full assurance of Thy grace
To Thee my prayer ascend;
In Thy abounding love and truth,
O God, salvation send.
2 Preserve my sinking soul, I pray,
From tides of hatred save;
Let not the waters overflow,
Redeem me from the grave.
3 Because Thy mercy, Lord, is good,
O answer me in grace,
And in the riches of Thy love
O turn to me Thy face.
4 Hide not Thy face from my distress,
A speedy answer send;
Draw near to me, my soul redeem,
From all my foes defend.
5 Well known to Thee is my reproach,
My shame and my disgrace;
The adversaries of my soul
Are all before Thy face.
6 My heart is broken by reproach,
My soul is full of grief;
I looked in vain for comforters,
For pity and relief.
7 They gave me bitter gall for food,
And taunting words they spake;
They gave me vinegar to drink,
My burning thirst to slake.
8 Their peace and plenty be their snare,
In blindness let them grope;
Thy indignation on them pour,
And desolate their hope.
9 Because they proudly persecute
Those whom Thou, Lord, dost smite,
Let them be blotted from Thy book
And banished from Thy sight.
Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

In leading Thy Church to freedom's fair land;

Where free and unfettered they worshiped Thy Name.
3 We praise Thee, O God, for years of increase,
For faith unassailed, prosperity, peace;
United we offer our anthem of praise
To Thee, our Supporter, our Ancient of Days.

From error and strife Thy Zion defend;
Breathe on us, we pray Thee, O Spirit of Love,
And fit us for union with Thy Church above.

Jehovah, My God, On Thy Help I Depend
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #12 (1934) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, my God, on Thy help I depend;
From all that pursue me O save and defend;
Lest they like a lion should rend me at will,
while no one is near me their raging to still.
2 When wronged without cause I have kindness returned;
But if I my neighbor maltreated and spurned,
My soul let the enemy seize for his prey,
My life and my honor in dust let him lay.
3 O Lord, in Thy wrath stay the rage of my foes;
Awake, and Thy judgment ordained interpose.
Let peoples surround Thee and wait at Thy feet,
While o'er them for judgment Thou takest Thy seat.
4 All nations of men shall be judged by the Lord;
To me, O Jehovah, just judgment accord,
As faithful and righteous in life I have been,
And ever integrity cherished within.
5 Establish the righteous, let evil depart,
For God, who is just, tries the thoughts of the heart.
In God for defense I have placed all my trust;
The upright He saves and He judges the just.
6 The Lord with the wicked is wroth every day,
And if they repent not is ready to slay;
By manifold ruin for others prepared
They surely at last shall themselves be ensnared.
7 Because He is righteous His praise I will sing,
Thanksgiving and honor to Him I will bring,
Will sing to the Lord on Whose grace I rely,
Extolling the Name of Jehovah Most High. Scripture: Psalm 7 Languages: English Tune Title: PAULINA

Jehovah's Perfect Law
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #30 (1934) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Jehovah's perfect law
Restores the soul again;
His testimony sure
Gives wisdom unto men;
The precepts of the Lord are right,
And fill the heart with great delight.
2 The Lord's commands are pure,
They light and joy restore;
Jehovah's fear is clean,
Enduring evermore;
His statutes, let the world confess,
Are wholly truth and righteousness.
3 They are to be desired
Above the finest gold;
Than honey from the comb
More sweetness far they hold;
With warnings they Thy servant guard,
In keeping them is great reward.
4 His errors who can know?
Cleanse me from hidden stain;
Keep me from wilful sins,
Nor let them o'er me reign;
And then I upright shall appear
And be from great transgressions clear.
5 When Thou dost search my life,
May all my thoughts within
And all the words I speak
Thy full approval win.

And my Redeemer Thou shalt be. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English Tune Title: HADDAM

My fortress and my stay;
O lead me for Thy own Name's sake
And guide me in Thy way.
Lord, Thou dost strength impart;
Then free me from the snare
Which foes for me, with wicked art,
Did secretly prepare.
3 My spirit unto Thee
I trustfully commend;
Jehovah, God of truth, to me
Thou didst redemption send.
I hate the false and vain,
My trust is in the Lord,
And still my heart in joyous strain
Thy mercy will record. Scripture: Psalm 31 Languages: English Tune Title: LEBANON

The Good Man's Steps Are Led Aright
Be Thou My Helper in the Strife
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #67 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers 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 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
Be Thou My Helper in the Strife
The Good Man's Steps Are Led Aright
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #72 (1934) Meter: 8.8.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 The good man's steps are led aright,
His way is pleasing in God's sight,
Established it shall stand;
He shall not perish though he fall,
The mighty Lord, who rules o'er all,
Upholds him with His hand.
2 Though I am old who young have been,
No saint have I forsaken seen,
Nor yet his home in need;
He ever lends in gracious ways,
His life true charity displays,
His sons are blest indeed.
3 Depart from evil, do thou well,
And evermore securely dwell;
Jehovah loves the right.
His faithfulness His saints have proved,
Forever they shall stand unmoved,
But sinners God will smite.
4 The righteous, through His favoring hand,
Shall yet inherit all the land
And dwell therein for aye;
He talks of wisdom and of right,
In God's pure law is his delight,
His steps go not astray.
5 The wicked, watching for their prey,
Desire the righteous man to slay,
But God is on his side;
He will not leave him in their hands,
Nor count him guilty when he stands
In judgment to be tried.
6 Wait on the Lord and keep His way;
He will exalt thee, nor delay
To give the land to thee;
And when the wicked are cut off,
The wicked who against thee scoff,
Their judgment thou shalt see.
7 The wicked in great power are seen,
Like spreading tree with foliage green
That grows in native ground.
I looked again, they were no more;
I sought the men so proud before,
But they could not be found.
8 Mark thou the upright day by day,
Behold the perfect in his way,
His journey ends in peace.
Destroyed at once shall rebels be;
Cut off from all posterity,
Their very name shall cease.
9 Salvation is from God alone,
Whom as their covert saints have known
When by sore troubles tried;
The Lord, who helped in troubles past,
Will save them to the very last,
For they in Him confide.

As Thirsts the Hart for Water Brooks
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #81 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 As thirsts the hart for water brooks,
So thirsts my soul, O God, for Thee;
It seeks for God, and ever looks
And longs the living God to see,
And longs the living God to see.
2 Far from the courts of God, my tears
Have been my food by night and day,
While constantly with bitter sneers,
Where is thy God? the scoffers say,
Where is thy God? the scoffers say.
3 With grief I think of days gone by,
when oft I trod the hallowed way
To Zion, praising God on high
With throngs who kept the holy day,
With throngs who kept the holy day.
4 O why art thou cast down, my soul,
And why so troubled shouldst thou be?
Hope thou in God, and Him extol,
Who gives His saving help to me,
Who gives His saving help to me.
5 Since, O my God, my soul is bowed,
In exile far, with bitter grief,
I turn my thoughts to Thy abode
For consolation and relief,
For consolation and relief.
6 With mighty voice deep calls to deep,
While raging storms Thy judgments tell;
The angry billows o'er me leap,
The waves of sorrow near me swell,
The waves of sorrow near me swell.
7 Thought troubles surge, yet through the day
The Lord His gracious help will give,
And in the night my heart shall pray
And sing to Him in Whom I live,
And sing to Him in Whom I live.
8 To God my rock I cry and say:
O why hast Thou forgotten me?
Why go I mourning on my way,
Oppressed by foes that know not Thee?
Oppressed by foes that know not Thee?
9 With anguish as from piercing sword
Reproach of bitter foes I hear,
While day by day, with taunting word,
Where is thy God? the scoffers sneer,
Where is thy God? the scoffers sneer.
10 O why art thou cast down, my soul,
And why so troubled shouldst thou be?
Hope thou in God, and Him extol,
Who gives His saving help to me,
Who gives His saving help to me. Scripture: Psalm 42 Languages: English Tune Title: BACA

Jehovah, to My Prayer Give Ear
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #107 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, to my prayer give ear,
Nor hide Thee from my cry;
Attend my sad complaint, and hear
My restless moan and sigh.
My enemies lift up their voice,
The violent oppress;
To do me wrong my foes rejoice,
And love my soul's distress.
2 Sore pained in heart I find no ease,
Death's terrors fill my soul,
Great fear and trembling on me seize,
And horrors o'er me roll.
O had I wings, I sigh and say,
Like some swift dove to roam,
Then would I hasten far away
And find a peaceful home.
3 Lo, wandering far my rest should be
In some lone desert waste;
I from the stormy wind would flee,
And to a shelter haste.
O Lord, their malice recompense,
Their wicked tongues confound,
For in the city violence
And bitter strife abound.
4 They walk her walls both night and day,
Within all vices meet;
Oppression, fraud, and crime hold sway,
Nor leave the crowded street.
No foreign foe provokes alarm,
But enemies within;
May God destroy their power to harm
And recompense their sin. Scripture: Psalm 55 Languages: English Tune Title: VOX DILECTI

In God I rest, and praise
His word, so rich and free.
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm,
With God my Helper near.
3 All day they wrest my words,
Their thoughts are full of hate;
They meet, they lurk, they watch,
As for my soul they wait.
Shall they be wickedness
Escape Thy judgment right?
O God of righteousness,
Destroy them in Thy might.
4 Thou knowest all my woes,
O treasure Thou my tears;
Are thy not in Thy book,
Where all my life appears?
My foes shall backward turn
When I appeal to Thee,
For this I surely know,
That God is still for me.

Triumphant I shall be.
6 O God our shield, let wickedness

And morning dawns at length,

My refuge and my strength.

Deep waters o'er me roll.
2 My constant calling wearies me,
My throat is parched and dried;
My eyes grow dim while for my God
Still waiting I abide.
3 The foes who hate me unprovoked
Are strong and still increase,
Though to disarm their enmity
My right I yield for peace.
4 O God, my folly and my sin
Thy holy eye can see;
Yet save from shame,Lord God of hosts,
Thy saints that wait on Thee.
5 Forbid, O God, our covenant God,
That those who seek Thy face
Should see Thy servant put to shame
And share in my disgrace.
6 It is for Thee I am reproached,
For Thee I suffer shame,
Until my brethren know me not,
And hated is my name.
7 It is my zeal for Thy abode
That has consumed my life;
Reproached by those reproaching Thee,
I suffer in the strife.
8 I wept, with fasting bowed my soul,
Yet that was made my shame;
When I in sackcloth clothed myself,
Their byword I became.
9 The men who sit within the gate
With slander do me wrong,
And they who linger at their cups
Make me their jest and song. Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English Tune Title: SAWLEY

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 prisoner, save the dying,
All Thy enemies restrain;
Then Thy flock, Thy chosen people,
Unto Thee Thy thanks shall raise,
And to every generation
We will sing Thy glorious praise. Scripture: Psalm 79 Languages: English Tune Title: AMADEUS

Great Shepherd Who Leadest Thy People in Love
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #164 (1934) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Great Shepherd Who leadest Thy people in love,
'Mid cherubim dwelling, shine Thou from above;
In might come and save us, Thy people restore,
And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
2 O haste, Lord, to hear us and pity our woes,
Affliction our portion, despised by our foes.
O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore,
And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
3 A place for Thy people, Thou, Lord, didst prepare,
Thy vine deeply rooted rewarded Thy care;
Its branches like cedars, majestic and free,
Spread over the mountains from river to sea.
4 Thy vineyard no longer Thy tender care knows,
Defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes;
O turn, we beseech Thee, all glory is Thine,
Look down in Thy mercy and visit Thy vine.
5 The branch of Thy planting is burned and cut down,
Brought nigh to destruction because of Thy frown;
The man of Thy right hand with wisdom endue,
The son of man strengthen Thy pleasure to do.
6 When Thou shalt revive us Thy name we shall praise,
And nevermore, turning, depart from Thy ways;
O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore,
And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.

Great Shepherd Who Leadest Thy People in Love
O God, No Longer Hold Thy Peace
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #168 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 O God, no longer hold Thy peace,
No longer silent be;
Thy enemies lift up their head
To fight Thy saints and Thee.
Against Thy own, whom Thou dost love,
Their craft Thy foes employ;
They think to cut Thy people off,
Thy Church they would destroy.
2 Thy ancient foes, conspiring still,
With one consent agree,
And they who with Thy people strive
Make war, O God, with Thee.
O God, Who in our fathers' time
Didst smite our foes and Thine,
So smite Thy enemies today
Who in their pride combine.
3 Make them like dust and stubble blown
Before the whirlwind dire,
In terror driven before the storm
Of Thy consuming fire.
Confound them in their sin till they
To Thee for pardon fly,
Till in dismay they trembling, own
That Thou art God Most High. Scripture: Psalm 83 Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

Thou hast made me hope in Thee;
This my comfort in affliction
That Thy Word has quickened me.

Still to Thy commands I cleave;
Thinking on Thy former judgments,
Help and comfort I receive.
3 Wicked men, Thy law forsaking,
Stirred my indignation strong;
For in all my pilgrim journey
Thy commandments are my song.

And Thy law hath been my guide;
I have kept Thy righteous precepts,
And have found them true and tried. Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English Tune Title: WILMOT

But still I hope in Thee;

When Thou shalt comfort me.

Though wasting grief I know;
Thy servant's days are few, O Lord;
When wilt Thou judge my foe?
3 The proud, disdainful of Thy law,
Entrap me wrongfully;
O Thou, Whose law is just and true,
Help and deliver me.
4 Almost consumed, yet from Thy law
I have not turned away;
In lovingkindness give me strength,
That I may still obey. Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English Tune Title: BELMONT

Leave me not in deep distress;

Make me know Thy truth, I pray;
Sinners have despised Thy statutes;

Hating sin, to these I hold. Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English Tune Title: ROBINSON

But they are far from Thee.

Thy Word abides eternally. Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English Tune Title: PRESTON

Until His mercy He displays.

From wicked men who dwell secure;

O Lord, our God, Thy mercy show. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 123 Languages: English Tune Title: PAXTANG
