Against all those that strive with me
Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Against all those that strive with me,
Assert my Right, and set me free!
Be thou, O LORD! my sure Protection,
And bring my Foes to thy Subjection.
Put on thy Buckler and thy Shield;
Stand up, O GOD, in my Defence;
Bring forth thy Spear, and to my Soul,
Say, "I am still thy Confidence."
2 Let them with sudden Shame be brought,
Who have my Soul's Destruction sought;
Let them who Mischief have devised,
Be with Confusion soon surprised:
Then shall they fly, dispers'd like Chaff
Before the furious driving Wind;
And from GOD's Minister of Wrath
They, no where, shall a Refuge find.
3 But when, his dreadful Rage to shun,
Thro' dark and slipp'ry Paths they run,
The Angel of the LORD pursuing,
Shall urge them on to speedy Ruin;
Since unprovok'd by any Wrong,
They laid for me their treach'rous Snare,
And, for my harmless Soul, a Pit,
Did without any Cause prepare.
4 Let them in Mischiefs be surpris'd,
Which for my Soul they had devis'd;
Their feet in their own Snares betrayed,
So shall their Treach'ry be repayed;
Whilst my glad Soul shall GOS's great Name,
For this his kind Deliv'rance bless;
And by His saving Health secur'd,
Her grateful Joy in Songs express.
Part II
5 My Bones shall say, from Anguish free,
"Oh LORD! who can compare with thee?
"Thou hast reliev'd the poor distressed,
"And all their heavy Wrongs redressed,"
"Who sett'st the poor and helpless Man
False Witnesses, with forg'd Complaints,
Against my Honour have combin'd;
And to my Charge unjustly laid.
Such Things as I had ne'er design'd.
6 For all the Good for them I wrought,
My Life they have with Malice sought;
My Soul to Danger still betraying,
My Kindnesses with Wrong repaying.
But as for me, when they were sick,
In Sack-cloth I sincerely mourn'd;
I pray'd and fasted, but my Pray'r
Again to my own Breast return'd.
7 Not to my Friends or Brethren dear,
Could I have shewn more tender Care;
Or for a Mother more deplored,
Whose Loss can never be restored.
How diff'rent did their Conduct prove,
To me in Times of deep Distress;
When they in Crouds together met,
And did their savage Joy express?
8 The Rabble too, in num'rous Throngs,
Came round, insulting me with Wrongs;
With Flatt'rers, busy Scoffers joined,
Against my Peace of Mind combined:
But, LORD, how long wilt thou look on?
Do thou on my Behalf appear!
And save my guiltless Soul, which they,
Like Beasts, would into Pieces tear.
Part III
9 So I, before the World will raise,
To thee, my GOD, loud Songs of Praise;
Thy Name in great Assemblies blessing,
My Thanks with humble Joy expressing:
LORD, suffer not my causeless Foes,
Who me do most unjustly hate;
With open Joy, or secret Signs,
To triumph in my sad Estate.
10 In framing Lies they never cease
With wicked Hearts averse to Peace;
Against the Just they have combined,
Who are to Quiet still inclined:
Nor with these private Arts content,
They vent their Spite aloud to all,
And say, "At last we have our Wish,
"With Pleasure we behold him fall."
11 But thou, O Lord, who dost survey,
Both them and me, keep not away;
But let thy Servant be defended,
And in his Innocence befriended:
LORD! as my Heart has upright been,
Let me thy Justice ever find;
Nor let my cruel Foes obtain
The Triumphs which they have design'd.
12 Oh let them not exulting say,
"At length he is become our Prey;
"Our fondest Wishes are compleated,
There - there he lies by us defeated."
Let such as in my Hurt rejoic'd,
With Shame confus'd, their Faces hide;
Dishonour be their Lot, who have
Themselves against me magnified.
13 Whilst constant Blessings shall attend,
On those who my just Cause befriend;
By them, O LORD, shalt thou be praised,
To thee shall all their Songs be raised:
So shall my Tongue thy Judgments sing,
Inspir'd with a grateful Joy;
And chearful Hymns in Praise of thee,
My GOD! shall all my Days employ. Topics: Description of Hyprocisy; Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Scripture: Psalm 35 Used With Tune: [Against all those that strive with me]

John J. Overholt
1918 - 2000 Recaster of "In Christ My Saviour's Wounds Wecure" in The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 John J. Overholt was born to an Amish family of limited means in the state of Ohio in 1918. As a child he was soon introduced to his father's personal collection of gospel songs and hymns, which was to have a marked influence on his later life. With his twin brother Joe, he early was exposed to the Amish-Mennonite tradition hymn-singing and praising worship.
An early career in Christian service led to a two-year period of relief work in the country of Poland following World War II. During that interim he began to gather many European songs and hymns as a personal hobby, not realizing that these selections would become invaluable to The Christian Hymnary which was begun in 1960 and completed twelve years later in 1972, with a compilation of 1000 songs, hymns and chorales. (The largest Menn. hymnal).
A second hymnal was begun simultaneously in the German language entitled Erweckungs Lieder Nr.1 which was brought to completion in 1986. This hymnal has a total of 200 selections with a small addendum of English hymns.
Mr. Overholt married in 1965 to an accomplished soprano Vera Marie Sommers, who was not to be outdone by her husband's creativity and compiled a hymnal of 156 selections entitled Be Glad and Sing, directed to children and youth and first printed in 1986.
During this later career of hymn publishing, Mr. Overholt also found time for Gospel team work throughout Europe. At this writing he is preparing for a 5th consecutive tour which he arranges and guides. The countries visited will be Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany, Poland, USSR and Romania.
Mr. Overholt was called to the Christian ministry in 1957 and resides at Sarasota, Florida where he is co-minister of a Beachy Amish-Mennonite Church.
Five children were born to this family and all enjoy worship in song.

Louis Bourgeois
1510 - 1561 Person Name: L. Bourgeois Composer of "[Now my heart no more fears to see]" in Little Psalterium Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation.
The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholarly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciated by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life.

Translator of "In Christ My Saviour's Wounds Wecure" in The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
