A Song of Degrees

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I in distress cried to the Lord Lyrics: 1 I In distress cry'd to the LORD; and kind, He heard my cries. 2 LORD, save my soul from guileful tongues, and lips inur'd to lies. 3 What shall to thy false tongue be done? or giv'n, thou slanderer? 4 Sharp arrows of the Mighty one, and coals of Juniper. 5 Ah! wo is me, that I am forc'd in Meshech to reside ; And must in the ungodly tents of Kedar still abide! 6 My soul has long been forc'd to dwell with them who peace abhor: 7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they all declare for war.

I in JEHOVAH place my trust

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I in JEHOVAH place my trust: why therefore say do ye To my poor soul, "like frighted birds "to your high mountain flee." 2 For lo, the wicked bend their bows, and on the string prepare, Their arrows in the dark to shoot at those who upright are. 3 But if the great foundations of our state they overthrow; [Which are thy sacred laws and truths;] what shall the righteous do? 4 JEHOVAH's in his holy place, and in the heav'ns on high JEHOVAH's throne: his eyes observe, men's sons his eye-lids try. 5 The men who truly righteous are JEHOVAH does approve: His soul the wicked hates, and them who violence do love. 6 Snares, fire and brimstone, dreadful storms, on sinners He will rain: This is the portion of the cup He does for them ordain. 7 Because the LORD, who righteous is, all right'ousness does love; His countenance the upright one, beholding does approve. Scripture: Psalm 11

I love, because Jehovah doth

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I love, because JEHOVAH doth My voice and pray'r still hear; 2 And in my days will call on Him, who bow'd to me his ear. 3 The cords of death on ev'ry side begirt me fast around: The pains of hell laid hold on me: grief and distress I found. 4 Then on JEHOVAH's name I call'd, and earnestly did cry, 'O LORD! deliver Thou my soul 'in my extremity.' 5 JEHOVAH just and gracious is; our God most kind also. 6 The LORD the simple keeps, and He me sav'd when I was low. 7 O now my soul, do thou return to thy delightful rest, Because the LORD hath bounteously Himself to the express'd. 8 Because Thou hast my soul from death now set at liberty: Mine eyes from tears, my sliding feet from falling hath set free. 9 Therefore I'll walk before the LORD, in his appointed ways, While in the land of living ones He lengthens out my days. [2 Part] 10 I did believe, and therefore spake, I great affliction bear; 11 Then in distress and haste I said, that all men liars are. 12 But O JEHOVAH! what returns shall I now make to Thee; For all the many benefits, Thou hast bestow'd on me. 13 I'll take the cup of saving health, and on the LORD's name call. 14 I'll pay the LORD my vows, yea now, before his people all. 15 In presence of JEHOVAH is esteem'd exceeding dear The death of ev'ry one of those his gracious saints who are. 16 I verily thy servant am, thy servant LORD, am I, I of thy handmaid am the son, My bands Thou didst untie. 17 The sacrifice of thankfulness, I'll offer up to Thee; And I upon JEHOVAH's name, will call continually. 18 The vows which in distress I made I to the LORD will pay, In presence of his people all without the least delay. 19 Within Jehovah;s courts therefore I gladly pay my vow, In midst of thee Jerusalem! sing HALLELUJAH, now! Scripture: Psalm 116

A Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: I said, I to my ways will look Lyrics: 1 I Said, I to my ways will look, lest I sin with my tongue; With curb I'll keep my mouth while I the wicked am among 2 With silence I as dumb abode, my mouth did I refrain From speaking good; but then the more excited was my pain. 3 My heart within me waxed hot, while I was musing long, Until the fire enkindled was, then spake I with my tongue. 4 O LORD, teach me to know my end, and measure of my days; How short it is, how frail I am, how swift my time decays. 5 Lo, Thou my days hast made a span, mine age is nought to Thee: At his best state sure ev'ry man Us wholly vanity. (Selah.) 6 Sure man walks in an empty show, and stirs himself in vain; Who heaps up wealth, but knows not who shall gather all his gain. [2 Part] 7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for? my hope is set on Thee: 8 Free me from all my trespasses; the fool’s scoff make not me. 9 I silent was, and shut my mouth, this done because Thou hast: 10 Remove thy stroke away from me' by thy hands blow I waste. 11 When with rebukes Thou chastnest man for his iniquity, His beauty, like a moth consumes; sure each man’s vanity. (Selah.) 12 LORD hear my pray'r, regard my tears, give ear to my loud cry: For as my fathers all, with Thee, a sojourner am I. 13 O spare me for a little space, and strength to me restore, Before, by death, from hence I go, and shall be here no more. Scripture: Psalm 39

I Sharon's rose and lilly am

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: Christ: 1 I Sharon's rose and lilly am which in the valley grows; 2 As lillies among thorns, my Love among the daughters shows. The Church: 3 As th' apple-tree among the woods, which fruit most beauteous bears; So my most dear beloved one among the sons appears: I with great joy sat in his shade; his fruit most sweet did prove: 4 He brought me to his banquet-house his banner o'er me love. 5 With flaggons stay, with apples cheer, for faint with love am I. 6 Under my head his left hand doth, his right above me lie. 7 O daughters of Jerusalem wake not my Love, nor raise; By roes and hinds of all the fields I charge you till He please. 8 O tis the voice of my Belov'd! upon the mountain's z He, As roes or fawns bound o'er the hills, so leaping comes, I see! 9 But now behind our wall He stands, and thro' the window views? I see Him thro' the latices; how lovelily He shews! 10 The my Beloved call'd to me, to me did kindly say; Christ: 'Arise my Love, my fairest one, 'make haste and come away! 11 'For lo the winter now is past, ' the rain entirely gone; 12 'The flow'rs appear all o'er the earth 'the singing birds come on! 'The turtle's soft and melting voice 'thro' all the land I hear: 13 'The fig-tree, see, puts forth her figs; 'the young and green appear! 'The vines with their young tender grapes 'around perfume the air: 'Arise my Love, my fairest one; 'come, stay no longer there!' 14 O Thou my dove, in clefts of rocks, in secret stairs! let me Hear thy sweet voice! thy comely face O let me gladly see! The Church: 15 The foxes take for us away, the little foxes# there, Who spoil the vines; and then the vines their tender grapes will bear. 16 My most Beloved one is mine, and I am wholly his; Among the lillies of the vales His pleasant feeding is. 17 Till the day break, and shades fly hence, turn my Belov'd to me; And like a roe or fawn upon the Bether mountains be! Scripture: Song of Solomon 2

I to Jehovah with my voice

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I to JEHOVAH with my voice express'd aloud my cry; In supplications to the LORD, I rais'd my voice on high. 2 Before his face I poured out my sorrowful complaint; Before his presence I declar'd the grief I underwent. 3 In me my spirit was o'erwhelm'd; my path was known to Thee: And in the way I was to go they hid a snare for me. 4 On my right hand I look'd and view'd, but none would know me there; All human refuge failed me; none for my soul would care. 5 Then to the LORD I cry'd, and said; Thou shalt my refuge be, And in the land of living ones, my portion is in Thee. 6 Because I'm brought exceeding low, O listen to my cry; Me from my persecutors save, who stronger are than I. 7 From out of prison bring my soul, to sing loud praise to Thee; The just will circle me with joy, when Thou shalt favour me. Scripture: Psalm 142

The Song of Jonah upon his great Deliverance

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I to the Lord in my distress Lyrics: 2 I to the LORD in my distress Cry'd earnestly, and He gave ear; Out from hell's belly then I cry'd, And He my voice did kindly hear. 3 For down into the hideous deeps, And midst of seas, Thou didst me cast; The floods encompass'd me, and all thy waves and billows o'er me pass'd. 4 I then said, I was cast away Quite from the sight of thy blest eyes, Yet tow'rds thy temple i will look, And to Thee there direct my cries. 5 The waters to my sinking soul Pierc'd and encompaas'd me around; That depths all round enclosed me, The weeds about my head were bound. 6 To mountains bottoms I went down, Earth's bars for ever me beset; Yet LORD my God, Thou hast my life Brought up out of the horrid pit. 7 When my sunk soul fainted in me, JEHOVAH then remember'd I; And then my pray'r rose up to Thee, Into thy holy place on high. 8 they their own mercies sadly leave, who look to lying vanities; But with the voice of giving thanks, To Thee I'll praises sacrifice. 9 Whatever I in trouble vow;d, To pay I readily accord; For all salvation ever comes From the most kind and sov'reign LORD. Scripture: Jonah 2

A Psalm or Song of Asaph

Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: In Judah God is known, his name Lyrics: 1 In Judah GOD is known: his name Is great in Israel: 2 In Salem his pavilion is: In Zion He doth dwell: 3 There He the burning arrows brake, the bow, shield, sword and war: (Selah.) More glorious Thou than mounts of prey more excellent by far. 5 They that are stout of heart are spoil'd, in sleep of death they fall: The mighty could not find their hands or pow'r to help at all. 6 O Thou of Jacob mighty God, at thy rebuke and blast The charioteers and horse also the sleep of death are cast. 7 Thou, even Thou, art terrible, whom all should greatly fear: O who can stand before thy face, if once thy wrath appear? 8 When Thou didst from the heav'ns on high cause judgment to be heard; The earth in awful silence stood, exceedingly it fear'd; 9 When GOD his judgment to dispense up as a judge arose, The meek of all the earth to save from all their mighty foes. (Selah.) 10 Assuredly the wrath of men shall praises to Thee gain: And the remainder of their wrath, Thou surely shalt restrain. 11 Vow to the LORD your God, and pay all ye that round Him are; To Him who is most terrible, your presents bring with fear. 12 The spirit that in princes is, asunder cut will He: And to the kings throughout the earth He terrible will be. Scripture: Psalm 76

No strife shall rage, no angry feuds disturb those peaceful years: To plowshares then they'll beat their swords, to pruning hooks their spears. No nation against nation rise, and slaughter'd hosts deplore: They'll lay the martial trumpet by, and study war no more. 5 O come ye then, of Jacob's house, our hearts now let us join; And walking in JEHOVAH'S light, with holy beauties shine. Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-5
