Isaac Watts Psalm 10

Psalms "Imitated in the Language of the New Testament"

Psalm 10

Words: Isaac Watts

''Prayer heard, saints saved, and oppressors punished. For a humiliation day.''


 * 1 Why doth the Lord stand off so far?
 * And why conceal his face,
 * When great calamities appear,
 * And times of deep distress?


 * 2 Lord, shall the wicked still deride
 * Thy justice and thy power?
 * Shall they advance their heads in pride,
 * And still thy saints devour?


 * 3 They put thy judgments from their sight,
 * And then insult the poor;
 * They boast in their exalted height,
 * That they shall fall no more.


 * 4 Arise, O God, lift up thine hand,
 * Attend our humble cry;
 * No enemy shall dare to stand
 * When God ascends on high.

 * PAUSE.


 * 5 Why do the men of malice rage,
 * And say, with foolish pride,
 * "The God of heav'n will ne'er engage
 * To fight on Zion's side?"


 * 6 But thou for ever art our Lord;
 * And powerful is thine hand,
 * As when the heathens felt thy sword,
 * And perished from thy land.


 * 7 Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray,
 * And cause thine ear to hear;
 * He hearkens what his children say,
 * And puts the world in fear.


 * 8 Proud tyrants shall no more oppress,
 * No more despise the just;
 * And mighty sinners shall confess
 * They are but earth and dust.
