Lead me in thy righteousness, Let my foes assail in vain; Lest my feet be turned aside, Make Thy way before me plain. 2 False and faithless are my foes, In their mouth no truth is found; Deadly are the words they speak, All their tho'ts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to nought, Hold them guilty in thy sight, For against Thee and thy law They have set themselves to fight. 3 O let all that trust Thy care Ever glad and joyful be; Let them joy who love Thy Name, Safely guarded, Lord, by Thee.

Why doth the Lord stand off so far?

Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked Lyrics: 1 Why doth the Lord stand off so far? And why conceal his Face, When great Calamities appear, And Times of deep Distress? 2 Lord, shall the Wicked still deride Thy Justice and thy Power? Shall they advance their Heads in Pride, And still thy Saints devour? 3 They put thy Judgments from their Sight, And then insult the Poor; They boast in their exalted Height, That they shall fall no more. 4 Arise, O GOD, lift up thine Hand, Attend our humble Cry; No Enemy shall dare to stand, When GOD ascends on high. Pause. 5 Why do the Men of Malice rage, And say, with foolish Pride, "The GOD of Heav'ns will ne'er engage "To fight on Zion's Side." 6 But thou for ever art our Lord, And pow'rful is thine Hand, As when the Heathen felt thy Sword, And perish'd from thy Land. 7 Thou wilt prepare our Hearts to pray, And cause thine Ear to hear; He hearkens what his Children say, And puts the World in Fear. 8 Proud Tyrants shall no more oppress, No more despise the Just; And mighty Sinners shall confess They are but Earth and Dust. Scripture: Psalm 10
