The Magistrate's Psalm
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #178a (1740) Publication Date: 1740 First Line: Mercy and Judgment are my Song Lyrics: 1 Mercy and Judgment are my Song;
And since they both to Thee belong,
My gracious GOD, my righteous King,
To Thee my Songs and Vows I bring.
2 If I am rais'd to bear the Sword,
I'll take my Counsels from thy Word;
Thy Justice and thy heav'nly Grace
Shall be the Pattern of my Ways.
3 Let Wisdom all my Actions guide,
And let my GOD with me reside;
No wicked Thing shall dwell with me
Which may provoke thy Jealousy.
4 No Sons of Slander, Rage and Strife
Shall be Companions of my Life;
The haughty Look, the Heart of Pride,
Within my Doors shall ne'er abide.
5 [I'll search the Land, and raise the Just
To Posts of Honour, Wealth, and Trust;
The Men that work thy holy Will
Shall be my Friends and Fav'rites still.]
6 In vain shall Sinners hope to rise
By flatt'ring or malicious Lyes;
And while the Innocent I guard,
The bold Offender shan't be spar'd.
7 The impious Crew (that factious Band)
Shall hide their Heads, or quit the Land;
And all that break the publick Rest,
Where I have Pow'r, shall be supprest. Topics: Family government; Magistrates Qualification; Master of a family; Psalm for householders; Psalm for magistrates Scripture: Psalm 101 Languages: English
