Prayer for Victory over Enemies.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble!
         May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high!

2May He send you help from the sanctuary
         And support you from Zion!

3May He remember all your meal offerings
         And find your burnt offering acceptable!

4May He grant you your heart’s desire
         And fulfill all your counsel!

5We will sing for joy over your victory,
         And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.
         May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

6Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed;
         He will answer him from His holy heaven
         With the saving strength of His right hand.

7Some boast in chariots and some in horses,
         But we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God.

8They have bowed down and fallen,
         But we have risen and stood upright.

9Save, O LORD;
         May the King answer us in the day we call.

Bernard Manning A paper read to the University Congregational Society in Cambridge on Sunday, October 17, 1937. DR. HENRY BETTS and Dr. Albert Peel have recently revived the respectable game of comparing the hymns of Watts and the hymns of Wesley. I shall have to take a turn or two at it myself before I finish this paper. Indeed, no one can read Watts without having Wesley in mind, and nothing will enable a man to see the greatness of Watts's hymns so well as a thorough knowledge of Wesley's. I make …

Psalms
The piety of the Old Testament Church is reflected with more clearness and variety in the Psalter than in any other book of the Old Testament. It constitutes the response of the Church to the divine demands of prophecy, and, in a less degree, of law; or, rather, it expresses those emotions and aspirations of the universal heart which lie deeper than any formal demand.
