Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 109
Henry Francis Lyte
Stranger and pilgrim here below,
I turn for refuge, Lord, to Thee;
Thou know'st my every want and woe;
Oh, smite my foes, an rescue me!
2 Thy name is love; for that name's sake
Sustain and cheer my sinking soul;
Low as I am, and poor, and weak,
One word of Thine can make me whole.
3 Help, Lord! let all my foes perceive,
'Tis Thine to comfort or condemn;
With Thee to bless me and relieve,
I little heed reproach from them.
4 Arise then, on my soul arise;
Thy sheltering wings around me cast;
And all that now afflicts or tries
Shall work my peace, O Lord, at last.
Henry Francis Lyte, 1834.
