Isaac Watts - Psalm 35 part 2
Work rating: Low

v.12-14 
C. M.
Love to enemies.

Behold the love, the gen`rous love,
That holy David shows;
Hark, how his sounding bowels move
To his afflicted foes!

When they are sick his soul complains,
And seems to feel the smart;
The spirit of the gospel reigns,
And melts his pious heart.

How did his flowing tears condole
As for a brother dead!
And fasting mortified his soul,
While for their life he prayed.

They groaned, and cursed him on their bed,
Yet still he pleads and mourns;
And double blessings on his head
The righteous God returns.

O glorious type of heav`nly grace!
Thus Christ the Lord appears;
While sinners curse, the Savior prays,
And pities them with tears.

He, the true David, Isr`el`s King,
Blest and beloved of God,
To save us rebels, dead in sin,
Paid his own dearest blood.
