MHRPC: Psalm 31G

Psalm 31G: Psalm 31:17-24

Saints' Praise, 76.76.D. [E]

7. ¹⁷ Let me not be ashamed, LORD,
        Because on You I call.
Ashamed shall be the wicked,
        As dead men silenced all.
¹⁸ All false lips shall be silenced,
        Whose speech is insolent,
Who boldly blame the righteous
        And proudly show contempt.

8. ¹⁹ How great the good You've treasured
        For them who worship You,
Prepared for those who trust You
        Where sons of men may view.
²⁰ You by Your presence hide them
        From all men plotting wrongs;
You keep them in Your shelter
        Safe from the strife of tongues.

9. ²¹ The LORD be ever blessed,
        For He has made me know
The mercy and protection
        His city walls bestow.
²² I said when filled with panic,
        "Im' cut off from Your eyes!"
Yet when to You I called out,
        You heard my pleading cries.

10. ²³ O love the LORD, you godly!
        The LORD the faithful keeps.
But He repays the haughty
        That what he sows he reaps.
²⁴ Be strong! He'll keep refreshing
        Your heart with courage great;
O do with hope and patience
        Upon Jehovah wait.
