Rejoicing in God. Ps. 18. 30-35, 46

1 Just are thy ways and true thy word,
  Great Rock of my secure abode;
  Who is a God beside the Lord?
  Or where’s a refuge like our God?

2 ’Tis he that girds me with his might;
  Gives me his holy sword to wield;
  And while with sin and hell I fight,
  Spreads his salvation for my shield.

3 He lives (and blessed be my Rock),
  The God of my Salvation lives;
  The dark designs of hell are broke;
  Sweet is the peace my Father gives.

4 Before the scoffers of the age
  I will exalt my Father’s name;
  Nor tremble at their mighty rage,
  But meet reproach and bear the shame.

5 To David and his royal seed
  Thy grace for ever shall extend;
  Thy love to saints, in Christ their Head,
  Knows not a limit nor an end.
