The Good Man's Steps Are Led Aright

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Punishment Of The Wicked Lyrics: 1 The good man's steps are led aright, His way is pleasing in God's sight, Established it shall stand; He shall not perish though he fall, The mighty Lord, who rules o'er all, Upholds him with His hand. 2 Though I am old who young have been, No saint have I forsaken seen, Nor yet his home in need; He ever lends in gracious ways, His life true charity displays, His sons are blest indeed. 3 Depart from evil, do thou well, And evermore securely dwell; Jehovah loves the right. His faithfulness His saints have proved, Forever they shall stand unmoved, But sinners God will smite. 4 The righteous, through His favoring hand, Shall yet inherit all the land And dwell therein for aye; He talks of wisdom and of right, In God's pure law is his delight, His steps go not astray. 5 The wicked, watching for their prey, Desire the righteous man to slay, But God is on his side; He will not leave him in their hands, Nor count him guilty when he stands In judgment to be tried. 6 Wait on the Lord and keep His way; He will exalt thee, nor delay To give the land to thee; And when the wicked are cut off, The wicked who against thee scoff, Their judgment thou shalt see. 7 The wicked in great power are seen, Like spreading tree with foliage green That grows in native ground. I looked again, they were no more; I sought the men so proud before, But they could not be found. 8 Mark thou the upright day by day, Behold the perfect in his way, His journey ends in peace. Destroyed at once shall rebels be; Cut off from all posterity, Their very name shall cease. 9 Salvation is from God alone, Whom as their covert saints have known When by sore troubles tried; The Lord, who helped in troubles past, Will save them to the very last, For they in Him confide. Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: PRESSLY

Hear, Lord, the Voice of My Complaint

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Punishment Of The Wicked Lyrics: 1 Hear Lord, the voice of my complaint, Preserve my life from fear, Hide me from plotting enemies And evil, crowding near. The workers of iniquity Their deadly shafts prepare; They aim at me their treacherous words; O save me from their snare. 2 The wicked in their base designs Grow arrogant and bold; Conspiring secretly, they think That God will not behold; They search out more iniquity, Their thoughts and plans are deep, But God will smite, for He is near His saints to guard and keep. 3 The wicked, by their sins o'ercome, Shall soon be brought to shame; The hand of God shall yet appear, And all shall fear His Name. The just shall triumph in the Lord, Their trust shall be secure, And endless glory then shall crown The upright and the pure. Scripture: Psalm 64 Used With Tune: MONORA

Complaint Against the Wicked

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Wicked Prayers for Punishment of First Line: Why standest Thou afar, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Why standest Thou afar, O Lord, Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour? The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless pow'r. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God Who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more.

God Shall Arise and by His Might

Author: Rev. B. Essenburg Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Punishment Of The Wicked Lyrics: 1 God shall arise and by His might Put all His enemies to flight With shame and consternation. His haters, haughty though they be, Shall at His august presence flee In utter desolation; For when Jehovah shall appear, He shall consume, afar and near, All those that evil cherish. As smoke before his dreadful ire, As wax is molten by the fire, So shall the wicked perish. 2 But let the righteous, blessed of yore, Joy in their God as ne'er before, Faith's victory achieving. Their joy shall then unbounded be Who see God's face eternally, Their heart's desire receiving. Exalt, exalt the Name of God; Sing ye His royal fame abroad With fervent exultation; Cast up a highway smooth and wide That through the deserts He may ride, Jehovah, our salvation. 3 Sing praise, thou chosen Israel, Who with the folds of sheep dost dwell; Thou art God's joy and treasure. Like doves on golden-feathered wing, In holy beauty thou shalt bring Thy praise to God with pleasure. Jehovah scattered kings and foes, Redeeming thee from grievous woes; Praise is thy holy duty. For God did choose a mount so fair That Bashan's height cannot compare With Zion's fame and beauty. 4 The Lord is great, His might untold, His chariots thousand thousand fold, His armies ne'er confounded. Among them God with joy displays The glory that in Moses' days Mount Sinai surrounded. When Thou, O Lord, in glory bright, Ascendedst in the heavenly height Our captive-bonds to sever, Rich gifts from those who did rebel Thou didst receive, that men might dwell With Thee, O Lord, forever. 5 Let God be praised with reverence deep; He daily comes our lives to steep In bounties freely given. God cares for us, our God is He; Who would not fear His majesty In earth as well as heaven? Our God upholds us in the strife; To us He grants eternal life, And saves from desolation. He hears the needy when they cry, He saves their souls when death draws nigh, This God is our salvation. 6 Ye kings and kingdoms of the earth, Extol Jehovah's matchless worth With psalms of adoration. Praise Him whose glory rides on high, Whose thunders roll through clouded sky With mighty intonation. Ascribe ye strength to God alone, Whose worth in Israel is known, For whom the heavens tremble. O Lord, our strength, to Thee we bow, For great and terrible art Thou Out of Thy holy temple. Scripture: Psalm 68 Used With Tune: GREITER

Petitions for Deliverance

Lead me in thy righteousness, Let my foes assail in vain; Lest my feet be turned aside, Make Thy way before me plain. 2 False and faithless are my foes, In their mouth no truth is found; Deadly are the words they speak, All their tho'ts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to nought, Hold them guilty in thy sight, For against Thee and thy law They have set themselves to fight. 3 O let all that trust Thy care Ever glad and joyful be; Let them joy who love Thy Name, Safely guarded, Lord, by Thee. For a blessing from Thy store To the righteous Thou wilt yield; Thou wilt compass him about With Thy favor as a shield. Scripture: Psalm 5 Used With Tune: MARTYN
