Psalm 17

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Arise, my gracious God Lyrics: Arise, my gracious God, And make the wicked flee; They are but thy chastising rod, To drive thy saints to thee.

Then let his pride advance, And boast of all his store; The Lord is my inheritance, My soul can wish no more.

There's a new heav'n begun, When I awake from death, Dressed in the likeness of thy Son, And draw immortal breath.

Whose belly with thy treasure hid thou fill’st: they children have In plenty; of their goods the rest they to their children leave. 15But as for me, I thine own face in righteousness will see; And with thy likeness, when I wake, I satisfy’d shall be.
