Troubles, Trials, Trusting

Tune: Laus Deo

('Bright the vision that delighted')

*********

Psalm 52 v.8

I am like a green olive tree

It be by God's mercy, see

His mercy I trust in ever

Nought from Him can me sever

 

Psalm 54 v.5

God is my helper, and the LORD

Is with them, true is His word

With them that do my soul uphold

So His graces thus be told

 

Psalm 55 v.6

Though sometimes I wish I had wings

To escape what trouble brings

Then I would fly away, and be

At rest, and from troubles free

 

Psalm 55 v.22

Yet I abide, cast my burden

On the LORD, He will help then

Shall sustain me, not allow me

To be moved, steadfast I be

 

Psalm 56 v.4

In God I will praise His word sure

It be truth for evermore

In God I will trust, will not fear

What men may do to me here

 

Psalm 57 v.1

Have mercy on me, O God, I

Shall trust you though troubles nigh

In shadow of your wings abide

'Til troubles o'er, there reside

        The word of god you refer to here. Regurgitated by man or made up by man.... and in any case, which version?
        In the end it's just a faith in a certain set of ethics, the detail has been messed around with into a patchwork of lies and conveniences to control the minds of feeble men and women largely by the inset of fear in childhood.
