And will the God of grace
Perpetual silence keep?
The God of justice hold His peace,
And let His vengeance sleep?

Behold, what cursèd snares
The men of mischief spread!
The men that hate thy saints and Thee
Lift up their threatening head.

Against Thy hidden ones
Their counsels they employ
And malice, with her watchful eye,
Pursues them to destroy.

The noble and the base
Into Thy pastures leap;
The lion and the stupid ass
Conspire to vex Thy sheep.

Come, let us join, they cry,
To root them from the ground,
Till not the name of saints remain,
Nor memory shall be found.

Awake, almighty God,
And call Thy wrath to mind;
Give them like forests to the fire,
Or stubble to the wind.

Convince their madness, Lord,
And make them seek Thy name;
Or else their stubborn rage confound,
That they may die in shame.

Then shall the nations know
That glorious, dreadful word,
JEHOVAH is Thy name alone,
And Thou the sovereign Lord.

Isaac Watts, 1674–1748
 
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)

“Keep not thou silence, O God:
hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.” (Psalms 83:1)


O God, no longer hold Thy peace,
No longer silent be;
Thine enemies lift up their head
To fight Thy saints and Thee.
Against Thine own, whom Thou dost love,
Their craft Thy foes employ;
They think to cut Thy people off,
Thy church they would destroy.

Thine ancient foes, conspiring still,
With one consent agree,
And they who with Thy people strive
Make war, O God, on Thee.
O God, who in our fathers’ time
Didst smite our foes and Thine,
So smite Thine enemies today
Who in their pride combine.

Make them like dust and stubble blown
Before the whirlwind dire,
In terror driv’n before the storm
Of Thy consuming fire.
Confound them in their sin till they
To Thee for pardon fly,
Till in dismay they, trembling, own
That Thou art God Most High.

The Psalter 
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
