Book of Psalms
PSALM XX.
George Burgess
God hear thee in thy day of grief,
And Jacob's God defend;
Send from his holy place relief,
Support from Sion send;
Remember how to him aspire
Thine off'rings and thy pray'rs;
Grant thee thy heart's most bold desire,
And answer to thy cares.
In thy salvation's promis'd gift
E'en now we dare rejoice:
Our banners in God's name we lift;
God answer to thy voice!
Now know I that the Lord will fight
For his Anointed's band,
Hear from his heav'n's most holy height,
And stretch his strong right hand.
Some trust their chariots' wedg'd array,
And some their warlike steeds;
The Lord's great name is all our stay,
And God our vict'ry leads.
Chariot and steed, o'erthrown they fall;
We stand, and upward rise:
Save, Lord, and hear us when we call,
King of the earth and skies!
