Earnest Appeal Against Enemies

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Wicked Prayers for Punishment of First Line: Jehovah, to my prayer give ear Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, to my prayer give ear, Nor hide Thee from my cry; Attend my sad complaint, and hear My restless moan and sigh. 2 My enemies lift up their voice, The violent oppress; To do me wrong my foes rejoice, And love my soul's distress. 3 Sore pained in heart I find no ease, Death's terrors fill my soul, Great fear and trembling on me seize, And horrors o'er me roll. 4 O had I wings, sigh and say, Like some swift dove to roam, Then would I hasten far away And find a peaceful home. 5 Lo, wand'ring far my rest should be In some lone desert waste; I from the stormy wind would flee, And to a shelter haste. 6 O Lord, their malice recompense, Their wicked tongues confound, For in the city violence And bitter strife abound. 7 They walk her walls both night and day, Within all vices meet; Oppression, fraud, and crime hold sway, Nor leave the crowded street. 8 No foreign foe provokes alarm, But enemies within; May God destroy their power to harm And recompense their sin. Scripture: Psalm 55 Used With Tune: GIVE

Prayer for Deliverance

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Wicked Prayers for Punishment of First Line: O God, be merciful Lyrics: 1 O God be merciful, Be merciful to me, For man, with constant hate, Would fain my ruin see. My many enemies Against me proudly fight; To overwhelm my soul They watch from morn to night. 2 What time I am afraid I put my trust in thee; In God I rest, and praise His word, so rich and free; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 3 All day they wrest my words, Their tho'ts are full of hate; They meet, they lurk, they watch, As for my soul they wait; Shall they by wickedness Escape Thy judgment right? O God of righteousness, Destroy them in Thy might. 4 Thou knowest all my woes, O treasure Thou my tears; Are they not in thy book, Where all my life appears? My foes shall backward turn When i appeal to Thee, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 5 In God, the Lord, I rest, His word of grace I praise, His promise stands secure, Nor fear nor foe dismays; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 6 Upon me are Thy voes, O God, in Whom I live; The sacrifice of praise To thee I now will give; For Thou hast saved from death, From falling kept me free, That in the light of life My walk may be with Thee. Scripture: Psalm 56 Used With Tune: CANA

God the Righteous Judge

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Wicked Prayers for Punishment of First Line: O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth, To Whom all vengeance doth belong, Arise and show Thy glory forth, Requite the proud, condemn the wrong. 2 How long, O Lord, in boastful pride Shall wicked men triumphant stand? How long shall they afflict Thy saints And devastate Thy chosen land? 3 The widow and the fatherless They slay, and helpless strangers smith; The faithful God they do not fear, They say the Lord will not requite. 4 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not He see Who formed the eye? Shall not He hear Who formed the ear, And judge, Who reigneth, God Most High? 5 The Lord will judge in righteousness, From Him all truth and knowledge flow; The foolish thoughts of wicked men, How vain they are the Lord doth know. 6 That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach Thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. 7 The Lord will not cast off His own, Nor His inheritance forsake; Just judgment shall at length prevail, And upright hearts shall courage take. 8 Who will arise for my defense Against the wicked in the land? Against iniquity and wrong What man for me will valiant stand? 9 Unless the Lord had been my help, My life had quickly passed away; But when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay. 10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee? 11 The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my refuge and my tower. 12 Our God, the refuge of His saints, Will fight against iniquity; Avenger of the innocent The Lord omnipotent will be. Scripture: Psalm 94 Used With Tune: LYTHAM

For countless ills have compassed me, My sinful deeds arise; Yea, they have overtaken me; I dare not raise my eyes. 2 My sins are more than I can count, My heart has failed for grief; Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me, O haste to my relief. Be those who seek to hurt my soul Dismayed and put to flight, And they themselves be put to shame Who in my woe delight. 3 Let all who seek Thee now rejoice, Yea, glad in Thee abide. And, loving Thy salvation, say, The Lord be magnified. My lowly state and bitter need The Lord has not forgot; Thou art my Saviour and my help, Come, Lord, and tarry not.
