The Psalter: with responsive readings 91a. God guards the good with watchful eyes

The Psalter‎#91a

1 God guards the good with watchful eye,
His ear attentive to their cry,
Against the wicked sets His face,
From earth their mem'ry to erase.

2 The righteous cry, Jehovah hears,
And rescues them from all their fears;
The Lord draws nigh to broken hearts,
To contrite spirits help imparts.

3 Afflictions on the good must fall,
But God will bring them safe thro' all;
From harmful stroke He will defend,
And sure and full deliv'rance send.

4 By evil are the evil slain,
The hope of sinful men is fain;
The wicked, who the righteous hate,
Their condemnation shall be great.

5 The Lord redemption will provide
For all who in His grace confide;
From condemnation they are clear
Who trust in Him with holy fear.
