Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 35 (song 1)
Joseph Irons
Plead my cause, O Lord of hosts,
Earth and hell now make their boasts,
See, against my soul they strive,
Mischief seek and plots contrive.
2 Shield and buckler are with Thee,
Hold them forth, O Lord, for me;
"I am thy salvation," say,
That shall all my foes dismay.
3. Inbred sin my soul annoys,
Unbelief my peace destroys,
Fiery darts the tempter flings,
Every day its battle brings.
4 Jesus when on earth He dwelt,
Sharpest pangs of conflict felt;
All the powers of darkness warr'd
With our great anointed Lord.
5 He has vanquish'd all His foes
For Himself, and all He chose;
His salvation is complete,
All shall worship at His feet.
6 Lord, I will rejoice in Thee,
Thy salvation makes me free;
Plead my cause and all is well,
I shall ever with Thee dwell.
Joseph Irons, 1847.
