Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #142 (1787) Topics: Church destruction of enemies proceeds from thence; Enemies destroyed; Israel saved from the Assyrians; National deliverance; Vengeance against the enemies of the church; Church destruction of enemies proceeds from thence; Enemies destroyed; Israel saved from the Assyrians; National deliverance; Vengeance against the enemies of the church First Line: In Judah God of old was known Lyrics: 1 In Judah God of old was known;
His name in Israel great;
In Salem stood his holy throne,
And Zion was his seat.
2 Among the praises of his saints,
His dwelling there he chose;
There he receiv'd their just complaints
Against their haughty foes.
3 From Zion went his dreadful word,
And broke the threatening spear;
The bow, the arrows, and the sword,
And crush'd the Assyrian war.
4 What are the earth’s wide kingdoms else
But mighty hills of prey?
The hill on which Jehovah dwells
Is glorious more than they.
5 ’Twas Zion’s king that stopp'd the breath
Of captains and their bands;
The men of might slept fast in death,
That quells their warlike hands.
6 At thy rebuke, O Jacob’s God,
Both horse and chariot fell:
Who knows the terrors of thy rod?
Thy vengeance who can tell?
7 What power can stand before thy sight
When once thy wrath appears?
When heaven shines round with dreadful light,
The earth adores and fears.
8 When God in his own sovereign ways
Comes down to save th' opprest,
The wrath of men shall work his praise,
And he’ll restrain the rest.
9 [Vows to the Lord, and tribute bring.
Ye princes, fear his frown:
His terrors shake the proudest king,
And smite his armies down.
10 The thunder of his sharp rebuke
Our haughty foes shall feel;
For Jacob’s God hath not forsook,
But dwells in Zion still.] Scripture: Psalm 76 Languages: English
Israel saved, and the Assyrians destroyed; or God's Vengeance against his Enemies proceeds from his Church
Dear Lord, behold our sore distress
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #373 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Enemies destroyed; National deliverance; Church destruction of enemies proceeds from thence; Church wrath against enemies proceeds thence; Israel saved from the Assyrians; Vengeance against the enemies of the church Lyrics:
Dear Lord! behold our sore distress;
Our sins attempt to reign;
Stretch out thine arm of conquering grace,
And let thy foes be slain.
[The lion with his dreadful roar
Affrights thy feeble sheep:
Reveal the glory of thy power,
And chain him to the deep.
Must we indulge a long despair?
Shall our petitions die?
Our mournings never reach thine ear,
Nor tears affect thine eye?]
If thou despise a mortal groan,
Yet hear a Savior's blood;
An Advocate so near the throne
Pleads and prevails with God.
He brought the Spirit's powerful sword
To slay our deadly foes;
Our sins shall die beneath thy word,
And hell in vain oppose.
How boundless is our Father's grace,
In height, and depth, and length!
He makes his Son our righteousness,
His Spirit is our strength.
Scripture: Psalm 76 Languages: English
Dear Lord, behold our sore distress
