By Babel's Streams We Sat and Wept
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #301 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Imprecatory Psalms Lyrics: 1 By Babel's streams we sat and wept,
For memory still to Zion clung;
The winds alone our harp-strings swept,
That on the drooping willows hung.
2 There our rude captors, flushed with pride,
A song required to mock our wrongs;
Our spoilers called for mirth and cried,
Come, sing us one of Zion's songs.
3 Not songs but sighs to us belong
When Zion's walls in ruin lie;
How shall we sing Jehovah's song
While in an alien land we die?
4 O Zion fair, God's holy hill,
Wherein our God delights to dwell,
Let my right hand forget her skill
If I forget to love thee well.
5 If I do not remember thee,
Then let my tongue from utterance cease,
If any earthly joy to me
Be dear as Zion's joy and peace.
6 Remember, Lord, the dreadful day
Of Zion's cruel overthrow;
How happy he who shall repay
The bitter hatred of her foe. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVE'S BROW

Deliver Me from Evil
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #307 (1934) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Imprecatory Psalms Lyrics: 1 Deliver me from evil,
Preserve me, Lord, from wrong;
Against the foes that gather,
Be Thou my Helper strong;
From those who plot to hurt me
And spread their treacherous snare
Preserve me, Lord, and keep me
Safeguarded in Thy care.
2 O Lord, I have confessed Thee
To be my God alone;
O hear my supplication
And be Thy mercy shown;
O God the Lord, my Savior,
My shield amid the strife,
Let not the wicked triumph
Who plot against my life.
3 Let evil smite the evil
And cause their overthrow;
The needy and afflicted
The Lord will help, I know;
Thy saints, redeemed from evil,
Their thanks to Thee shall give;
The righteous and the upright
Shall in Thy presence live. Scripture: Psalm 140 Languages: English Tune Title: PETITION
Deliver Me from Evil
O Lord, Be Gracious to Me
Author: Michael Perry (1942-1996) Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #612 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Topics: Imprecatory Psalms Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be gracious to me;
my soul cries out, "How long?"
When will you turn in mercy
and save your child from wrong?
2 Shall lips that you have given
sing praises from the dead?
Return, O Lord, enliven -
in love lift up my head.
3 Despair my mind was keeping
and sorrows filled my eyes,
but God has heard my weeping
and now he will arise! Scripture: Psalm 6 Languages: English Tune Title: O LORD, BE GRACIOUS
O Lord, Be Gracious to Me
