Psalm 11 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A BCBC DEDF GHGI JKLM NONO PLPQ

God loves the righteous and hates the wickedA
-
My refuge is the God of loveB
Why do my foes insult and cryC
Fly like a tim'rous trembling doveB
To distant woods or mountains flyC
-
If government be all destroyedD
That firm foundation of our peaceE
And violence make justice voidD
Where shall the righteous seek redressF
-
The Lord in heav'n has fixed his throneG
His eye surveys the world belowH
To him all mortal things are knownG
His eyelids search our spirits throughI
-
If he afflicts his saints so farJ
To prove their love and try their graceK
What may the bold transgressors fearL
His very soul abhors their waysM
-
On impious wretches he shall rainN
Tempests of brimstone fire and deathO
Such as he kindled on the plainN
Of Sodom with his angry breathO
-
The righteous Lord loves righteous soulsP
Whose thoughts and actions are sincereL
And with a gracious eye beholdsP
The men that his own image bearQ

Isaac Watts
