Commemoration and Praise

Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Christians Blessedness of First Line: O Lord, by Thee delivered Lyrics: 1 O Lord, by Thee delivered, I Thee with songs extol; My foes Thou hast not suffered To glory o'er my fall. O Lord, my God, I sought Thee, And Thou didst heal and save; Thou, Lord, from death didst ransom, And keep me from the grave. 2 His holy Name remember, Ye saints, Jehovah praise; His anger lasts a moment, His favor all our days; For sorrow, like a pilgrim, May tarry for a night, But joy the heart will gladden When dawns the morning light. 3 In prosp'rous days I boasted, Unmoved I shall remain, For, Lord, by Thy good favor My cause Thou didst maintain; I soon was sorely troubled, For Thou didst hide Thy face; I cried to Thee, Jehovah, I sought Jehovah's grace. 4 What profit if I perish, If life Thou dost not spare? Shall dust repeat Thy praises, Shall it Thy truth declare? O Lord, on me have mercy, And my petition hear; That Thou mayst be my helper, In mercy, Lord, appear. 5 My grief is turned to gladness, To Thee my thanks I raise, Who hast removed my sorrow And girded me with praise; And now, no longer silent, My heart Thy praise will sing; O Lord, my God, for ever My thanks to Thee I bring.

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.
