Analysis of The LORD Is Good
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
The Lord is watching the righteous,
His ears are hearing of their cry;
Distress is making them anxious,
With hearing of their mournful sigh.
The face of the Lord hates evil,
To cut off memory of them;
Because their work is the devil,
Who He already does condemn.
When the righteous cry, the Lord hears,
Delivers them from their trouble;
Because they will always revere,
For He pulls them from the rubble.
The Lord is near the broken heart,
Save the spirit that has been crushed;
Enables them for a new start,
While their problem has been flushed.
The righteous do have afflictions,
But the Lord delivers them out;
Away from the contradictions,
From this place that causes much doubt.
He is keeping all of his bones,
None of them will become broken;
No longer hearing any groans,
Since the voice of God has spoken.
Affliction shall slay the wicked,
The evil, the Lord will condemn;
Never will they be acquitted,
For not having the faith in them.
For the Lord will redeem the life,
Of the servants who take refuge;
He will comfort them through their strife,
As blessings become a deluge
