Why should the haughty hero boast

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #52 (1789) Lyrics: 1 Why should the haughty hero boast, His vengeful arm, his warlike host? While blood defiles his cruel hand, And desolation wastes the land. 2 He joys to hear the captive's cry, The widow's groan, the orphan's sigh; And when the wearied sword would spare, His falshood spreads the fatal snare. 3 He triumphs in the deeds of wrong, And arms with rage his impious tongue; With pride proclaims his dreadful pow'r, And b ids the trembling world adore. 4 But God beholds, and with a frown, Casts to the dust his honours down; The righteous freed, their hopes recal, And hail the proud oppressors fall. 5 How low th' insulting tyrant lies, Who dar'd th' eternal pow'r despise; And vainly deem'd with envious joy, His arm almighty to destroy. 6 We praise the Lord, who heard our cries, And sent salvation from the skies; The saints, who saw our mournful days, Shall join our grateful songs of praise. Part II. 7 While unbelievers make their boast, And heav'nly grace despise; In their own arm they put their trust, And fill their mouths with lies; 8 But like a cultur'd olive grow, Dress' in immortal green, Thy children blooming in thy love, Amid thy courts are seen. 9 On thine eternal grace, O Lord, Our souls shall rest secure; And all who trust thy holy word, Shall find salvation sure.
