Persecutors punished

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #241b (1740) Topics: Persecutors punished First Line: Up from my Youth, may Isr'el say Lyrics: 1 Up from my Youth, may Isr'el say, Have I been nurs'd in Tears; My Griefs were constant as the Day, And tedious as the Years. 2 Up from my Youth I bore the Rage Of all the Sons of Strife; Oft they assail'd my riper Age, But not destroy'd my Life. 3 Their cruel Plow had torn my Flesh With Furrows long and deep; Hourly they vex'd my Wounds afresh, Nor let my Sorrows sleep. 4 The Lord grew angry on his Throne, And, with impartial Eye, Measur'd the Mischiefs they had done, Then let his Arrows fly. 5 How was their Insolence surpris'd To hear his Thunders roll! And all the Foes of Sion seiz'd With Horror to the Soul. 6 Thus shall the Men that hate the Saints Be blasted from the Sky; Their Glory fades, their Courage faints And all their Projects die. 7 [What though they flourish tall and fair, They have no Root beneath; Their Growth shall perish in Despair, And lie despis'd in Death.] 9 [So corn that on the House-top stands No Hope of Harvest gives; The Reaper ne'er shall fill his Hands, Nor Binder fold the Sheaves. 9 It springs and withers on the Place; No Traveller bestows A word of Blessing on the Grass, Nor minds it as he goes.] Scripture: Psalm 129 Languages: English
