All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear, Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear. Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take.

The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless pow'r. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God Who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more.

From truth and wisdom men depart, With flatt'ring lips and double heart They speak their evil mind. 2 The lips that speak, the truth to hide, The tongues of arrogance and pride, That boastful words employ, False-speaking tongues that boast their might, That own no law, that know no right, Jehovah will destroy. 3 Because the poor are sore oppressed, Because the needy are distressed, And bitter are their cries, The Lord will be their helper strong; To save them from contempt and wrong Jehovah will arise. 4 Jehovah's promises are sure, His words are true, His words are pure As silver from the flame. Tho' base men walk on ev'ry side, His saints are safe, whate'er betide, Protected by His Name.

The Value of Holy Scripture

Hymnal: PS1912 #41 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Most perfect is the law of God Lyrics: 1 Most perfect is the law of God, Restoring those that stray; His testimony is most sure, Proclaiming wisdom's way. 2 The precepts of the Lord are right; With joy they fill the heart; The Lord's commandments all are pure, And clearest light impart. 3 The fear of God is undefiled And ever shall endure; The statutes of the Lord are truth And righteousness most pure. 4 They warn from ways of wickedness Displeasing to the Lord, And in the keeping of His Word There is a great reward. 5 What man can know his evil heart, Discerning all his sin? O cleanse me, Lord, from hidden faults, And make me pure within. 6 From willful sins Thy servant keep, No vantage let them gain; From great transgressions thus made free, I upright shall remain. 7 The words which from my mouth proceed, The thoughts within my heart, Accept, O Lord, for Thou my Rock And my Redeemer art.
