Plea Of The Persecuted

orchidee



Tune: Pastor Pastorum

('Faithful Shepherd, feed me')

Psalm 129 parts

*********

Where we in afflictions

Suffer other's sins

Yet with you help, LORD, they

Not prevail, we say

 

It was as if ploughers

In their bitter hours

Ploughed upon our backs to

Disturb us anew

 

But the LORD is righteous

Shall come to help us

Wicked cut in pieces

Shall be, sin ceases

 

Let them all ashamed be

Your true judgements see

Be as cut grass scattered

Where the wind has sped

 

Nor do they that go by

Wish them blessing nigh

To wicked no favour

Wrath they shall incur

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.5.6.5. metre. One of a 'Song of Ascents' (Psalms 120 - 134). Mainly short Psalms sung as the Jews went up (ascended) the hill leading to the temple. They are mostly more joyful than this, though the wicked have to been seen to be defeated, for the Lord to be ruling and reigning.

      If it was only that simple, evil would have little soil to germinate. But as always you have mastered this form of expression
