Oh, that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!”
Oh, that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!”
Help us, God of our salvation! Help us for the honor of your name. Oh, save us and forgive our sins.
Oft He chastised and still forgave,
Till, by His gracious hand,
The nation He resolved to sa
Let children hear the mighty deeds
which God performed of old,
which in our younger years we saw
and which our fathers told.
…He led forth his own people like a flock, guiding them safely through the wilderness.
He kept them safe, so they were not afraid.
I’ll meditate his works of old,
Who reigns in heav’n above,
I’ll hear his ancient wonders told,
And learn to trust his love.
I’ll think again of all Thy ways,
And talk Thy wonders o’er;
Thy wonders of recovering grace,
When flesh could hope no more
O God, your ways are holy. Where is there any other as mighty as you?
You are the God of miracles and wonders! You still demonstrate your awesome power
What pow’r can stand before thy sight,
When once thy wrath appears?
When heav’n shines round with dreadful light,
The earth adores and fears
“Yes,” the Lord replies, “and when I am ready, I will punish the wicked!
Though the earth shakes and all its people live in turmoil, yet its pillars are firm, for I have set them in place!”
Our foes would triumph in our blood,
And make our hope their jest;
Plead Thy own cause, Almighty God,
And give Thy children rest.
The story of David and his soldiers fighting for and saving their families represents how God is going to save us from the devil.
