God's Ministering Spirits

1 The righteous cry unto the Lord,
He unto them gives ear;
And they out of their troubles all
By Him delivered are.

Refrain:
The angle of the Lord encampeth round
About them that fear Him,
The angel of the Lord encampeth round about
Encampeth round about them that rear Him.

2 The Lord is ever nigh to them
That are of broken heart;
To those of contrite spirit
He salvation doth impart. [Refrain]

3 The troubles that afflict the just
In number many be;
But yet Jehovah from them all
Doth save and set him free. [Refrain]

4 Ill shall the wicked slay; laid waste
Shall be who hate the just;
The Lord redeems His servant’s souls;
None perish that Him trust. [Refrain]
