LET ISRAEL NOW SAYTHE LORD IS RIGHTEOUSTHE IMPRECATORY REQUESTSWe are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed They missed not an inch, but went from end to end of the field, meaning to make thorough work of their congenial engagement. Those who laid on the scourge did it with a thoroughness which showed how hearty was their hate. Oh, Jesus, my Saviour, on Thee I'll depend
When troubles are near me you'll be my true friend I'm troubled
I'm troubled in mind
If Jesus don't help me
When ladened with troubles and burdened with grief
To Jesus in secret I'll go for relief In dark days of bondage to Jesus I prayed
To help me to bear it, and He gave me His aid The Rock, his work is perfect,
for all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,
Rejoice with him, O heavens;
bow down to him, all gods,
for he avenges the blood of his children
and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him
and cleanses his people’s land. We desire their welfare as men, their downfall as traitors. Let their conspiracies be confounded, their policies be turned back. How can we wish prosperity to those who would destroy that which is dearest to our hearts? This present age is so flippant that if a man loves the Saviour he is styled a fanatic, and if he hates the powers of evil he is named a bigot.
