Tune: Rosefield
('Bread of heaven, on thee we feed')
Psalm 109 v.26-31
********
Help me, LORD my God, save me
According to your mercy
That my enemies may know
You have acted for me so
I a sheep in your pasture
With your flock shall e'er endure
Let enemies curse, but you
Bless us, by and by you do
When enemies arise let
Them be ashamed even yet
But let your servants rejoice
You, righteous LORD, are our choice
Let adversaries be clothed
With shame, it on them bestowed
Let them be confused, and know
Their evil deeds shall not grow
But as for me, I will praise
The LORD greatly, His name raise
I will praise Him midst people
Who do call upon Him all
For He shall stand with the poor
To save them from troubles sore
And from those who them oppose
The LORD's help to the poor flows

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.7.7.7.7.7. metre. I have picked out the 'good' bits! Not the most praise-y of Psalms, as it deals with slanders. The Old Testament can be tit-for-tat in places.
