Who will arise and plead my Right

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P94b (1766) Topics: Afflicted Instruction by them; Afflicted of Saints and Sinners different; Afflicted sanctified; Instructive Affliction Lyrics: 1 Who will arise and plead my Right Against my num'rous Foes, While Earth and Hell their Force unite, And all my Hopes oppose? 2 Had not the Lord, my Rock, my Help, Sustain'd my fainting Head, My Life had now in Silence dwelt, My Soul amongst the Dead. 3 Alas! my sliding Feet! I cry'd. Thy Promise was my Prop; Thy Grace stood constant by my Side, Thy Spirit bore me up. 4 While Multitudes of mournful Thoughts Within my Bosom roll, Thy boundless Love forgives my Faults, Thy Comforts chear my Soul. 5 Pow'rs of Iniquity may rise, And frame pernicious Laws; But GOD my Refuge, rules the Skies, He will defend my Cause. 6 Let Malice vent her Rage aloud, Let bold Blasphemers scoff; The Lord our GOD shall judge the Proud, And cut the Sinners off. Scripture: Psalm 94:16-23 Languages: English

My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P143 (1766) Topics: Afflicted from Men; Afflicted their prayer; Afflicted very great; Hope in Affliction Lyrics: 1 My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD, Hear when I spread my Hands abroad, And cry for Succour from thy Throne, O make thy truth and Mercy known! 2 Let Judgment not against me pass; Behold thy Servant pleads thy Grace: Should Justice call us to thy Bar, No Man alive is guiltless there. 3 Look down in Pity, Lord, and see The mighty Woes that burthen me; Down to the Dust my Life is brought, Like one long bury'd and forgot. 4 I dwell in Darkness and unseen: My Heart is desolate within: My Thoughts in musing Silence trace The ancient Wonders of thy Grace. 5 Thence I derive a Glimpse of Hope To bear my sinking Spirits up; I stretch my Hands to GOD again, And thirst like parched Lands for Rain. 6 For Thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn: When will thy smiling Face return? Shall all my Joys on Earth remove? And GOD, for ever hide his Love? 7 My GOD, thy long Delay to save Will sink thy Pris'ner to the Grave; My Heart grows faint, and dim mine Eye; Make haste to help before I die. 8 The Night is Witness to my Tears, Distressing Pains, distressing Fears; O might I hear thy Morning Voice, How would my weary'd Pow'rs rejoice! 9 In Thee I trust, to Thee I sigh, And lift my heavy Soul on high; For Thee sit waiting all the Day, And wear the tiresome Hours away. 10 Break off my Fetters, Lord, and show Which is the Path my Feet should go; If Snares and Foes beset the Road, I flee to hide me near my GOD. 11 Teach me to do thy holy Will, And lead me to thy heav'nly Hill; Let the good Spirit of thy Love Conduct me to thy Courts above. 12 Then shall my Soul no more complain, The Tempter then shall rage in vain; And Flesh, that was my Foe before, Shall never vex my Spirit more. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English
