And who and what are ministers themselves? Frail men, fallible, sinning men, exposed to every snare, to temptation in every form; and from the very post of observation they occupy, the fairer mark for the fiery darts of the foe. They are no mean victims the great Adversary is seeking, when he would wound and cripple Christ’s ministers. One such victim is worth more to the kingdom of darkness than a score of common men; and on this very account, the temptations are probably more subtle and severe than those encountered by ordinary Christians. If this subtle Deceiver fails to destroy them, he artfully aims at neutralizing their influence by quenching the fervor of their piety, lulling them into negligence, and doing all in his power to render their work irksome. How perilous the condition of that minister then, whose heart is not encouraged, whose hands are not strengthened, and who is not upheld by the prayers of his people! It is not in his own closet and on his own knees alone that he finds security and comfort and ennobling, humbling and purifying thoughts and joys; but it is when his people also seek them in his behalf that he becomes a better and happier man and a more useful minister of the everlasting gospel.

73:1 intellectus Asaph ut quid Deus reppulisti in finem iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuae tuae

73:2 memor esto congregationis tuae quam possedisti ab initio redemisti virgam hereditatis tuae mons Sion in quo habitasti in eo

73:3 leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto

73:4 et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio sollemnitatis tuae posuerunt signa sua signa

73:5 et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum quasi in silva lignorum securibus

73:6 exciderunt ianuas eius in id ipsum in securi et ascia deiecerunt %eam;

73:7 incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui

73:8 dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra

73:9 signa nostra non vidimus iam non est propheta et nos non cognoscet amplius

73:10 usquequo Deus inproperabit inimicus inritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem

73:11 ut quid avertis manum tuam et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem

73:12 Deus autem rex noster ante saeculum operatus est salutes in medio terrae

73:13 tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare contribulasti capita draconum in aquis

73:14 tu confregisti capita draconis dedisti eum escam populis Aethiopum

73:15 tu disrupisti fontem et torrentes * tu siccasti fluvios Aetham;

73:16 tuus est dies et tua est nox tu fabricatus es auroram et solem

73:17 tu fecisti omnes terminos terrae aestatem et ver tu plasmasti ea

73:18 memor esto huius inimicus inproperavit Dominum et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum

73:19 ne tradas bestiis animam confitentem tibi animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem

73:20 respice in testamentum tuum quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terrae domibus iniquitatum

73:21 ne avertatur humilis factus confusus pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum

73:22 exsurge Deus iudica causam tuam memor esto inproperiorum tuorum eorum qui ab insipiente sunt tota die

73:23 ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper
