Sources of Sorrow -- Persecution

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. — Ps 138:7

Man may trouble and distress me,
’Twill but drive me to thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
