The Safety of Believers

Verse 1

God guards the good with watchful eye, His ear attentive to their cry; Against the wicked sets His face, From earth their memory to erase.

Verse 2

The righteous cry, Jehovah hears, And rescues them from all their fears; The Lord draws nigh to broken hearts, To contrite spirits help imparts.

Verse 3

Afflictions on the good must fall, But God will bring them safe through all; From harmful stroke He will defend, And sure and full deliverance send.

Verse 4

By evil are the evil slain, The hope of sinful men is vain; The wicked, who the righteous hate, Their condemnation shall be great.

Verse 5

The Lord redemption will provide For all who in His grace confide; From condemnation they are clear Who trust in Him with holy fear.
