A Psalm of Asaph

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: In the assembly of the great Lyrics: 1 In the assembly of the great, our mighty GOD doth stand, As judge among our earthly GODS, the Rulers of the land. 2 How long [says He] then will ye dare wrong judgment to award? The wicked person to accept, or partially regard? 3 Defend the poor and fatherless, oppress'd by worldly might; Aid such as suffer injuries, and see ye do them right. 4 The weak and poor deliver ye, and needy of the land; And rid them from the tyranny of ev'ry wicked hand. 5 They know not, nor will understand, in darkness they walk on: All the foundations of the earth, out of their course are gone. 6 I call'd you GODS for your high place, sons of the Highest all; 7 But ye shall die like common men, like other princes fall. 8 Arise, O GOD, and judge the earth, and bring oppressors down: For Thou all nations shalt possess, and rule them as thine own. Scripture: Psalm 82

To the chief Musican. A Psalm of David

Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: In thee, O Lord, I put my trust Lyrics: 1 In Thee, O LORD, I put my trust, asham'd ne'r let me be; Accordingly to thy righteousness, do thou deliver me. 2 Bow down thine ear to me: with speed give me deliverance To save me, be my rock of strength And house of my defence. 3 Because Thou art my rock and fort, in whom I will confide, Therefore for thy name sake do thou me safely, lead and guide. 4 O pull me from the net which they, for me in secret laid; Because Thou only art my strength, in whom I trust for aid. 5 Into thy hands I safe commit my soul; for Thou art He, O Thou JEHOVAH, God of truth who hast redeemed me. 6 The men who lying vanities regard, I have abhor'd: But I have plac'd my confidence alone upon the LORD.. 7 I in thy mercies will exult and will rejoyce; for Thou Did'st my affliction see and weigh, my soul in trouble know; 8 And didst not let my foe keep me enclosed in his hand; But in the place of liberty hast made my feet to stand. [2 Part] 9 O Lord, because I am distress'd, in mercy send relief: My soul, my bowels, and mine eye, Consumed are with grief. 10 Because my life with trouble fails; with groans my years decay: And for my sins my strength is spent, my bones consume away. 11 To all my foes I am a scorn neighbours especially; A fear to friends; and those abroad who see me from me fly. 12 Ev'n like a dead man, out of mind, I quite forgotten lie; And as the potter's vessel broke, so much despis'd am I. 13 For slanders I of many heard, and fears around me lay, While they consulted and devis'd to take my life away. 14 But all this while on Thee, O LORD, I trusted still for aid; "For Thou art my almighty God," my soul within me said; 15 My times are wholly in thy hand; now therefore set me free Far from the hand of all my foes and those who trouble me [3 Part] 16 The brightness of thy face to shine on me thy servant make; And thy salvation to me grant, For thy free mercy sake. 17 LORD, let me not ashamed be; for call'd on Thee I have; But wicked men shall be asham'd, till silent in the grave. 18 The lying lips shall silenc'd be, which grievous things have said; And hard reports in pride and scorn against the righteous spread. 19 How great thy goodness in thy store for those who fear Thee, then! Yea wrought for them who trust in Thee, before the sons of men! 20 In secret of thy presence Thou wilt screen them from man's pride, And safely wilt from strive of tongues in thy pavilion hide. 21 O let JEHOVAH blessed be, for wondrous kindness shown when threatning dangers me enclos'd within a fenced town. 22 For in my haste I tho't and said; "I'm cut off from thine eyes," Yet when I cry'd to Thee, then Thou didst kindly hear my cries. 23 O love the LORD all ye his saints! the LORD the faithful guards; But those who live and act in pride, He dreadfully rewards. 24 Encourage then your selves in him, and he'll more strength afford To your enfeebled hearts, all ye whose hope is in the LORD. Scripture: Psalm 31

A Song of Degrees of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: It was my joy to hear them say Lyrics: 1 It was my joy to hear them say, come to the LORD's house go: 2 O dear Jerusalem, our feet thy gates shall pass into. 3 Jerusalem is builded up into a city frame: Quite uniform and beautiful and compact is the same. 4 Whither the tribes, the tribes of JAH to Isr'el's witness go; That there they to JEHOVAH's name their thankfulness may show. 5 And there the thrones of judgment rais'd established remain; The thrones that to the royal house of David appertain. 6 Pray for Jerusalem her peace: they prosper who love thee: 7 Be in thy walls and palaces peace and prosperity. S Now, for my friends and brethren sake, I wish thee perfect peace; 9 And for our God JEHOVAH's house, I'll seek thy happiness. Scripture: Psalm 122

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Jehovah hear thee in the day Lyrics: 1 JEHOVAH hear thee in the day of thy calamity; The name of Jacob's mighty God defend* and set thee high: 2 Help send thee from his holy place, and strength from Zion give. 3 Remember all thy offerings, and sacrifice receive. (Selah) 4 Grant thee according to thy heart; thy counsel all fulfil: 5 In thy salvation grated, we rejoyce with shouting will. And in the name of our own God our banners we will rear: Most kindly hear thee may the LORD and answer all thy pray'r. 6 Now know I that JEHOVAH will save his MESSIAH dear, With his right hand of strength; and from his holy heav'n he'll hear. 7 In chariots some their confidence, and some in horses set; But of the LORD our God the name we never will forget. 8 So we shall rise and stand upright, while they bow down and fall. Save LORD, and hear us let the king, when we to him do call. Scripture: Psalm 20

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Jehovah hearken to the right Lyrics: 1 Jehovah hearken to the right, attend to my loud cry; And hear my pray'r that cometh forth from lips that do not lie. 2 O from thy presence let there come, a just decree to me: And let thy just and holy eyes, things that are equal see. My HEART thou searched hast by day, and visited by night: Thou hast me in a furnace try'd, and found my heart is right. 3 As for my MOUTH; as I resolv'd my words should not transgress, Thy righteous laws which guide the tongue; I kept my purposes. 4 And as for WORKS of men; thy word hath me directed so, That I observ'd and shun'd the paths wherein destroyers go. 5 My goings in thy narrow paths do thou uphold and guide; That so my footsteps thus secur'd may never turn aside. 6 On Thee I called have, O God, because Thou wilt me hear; O now incline thine ear to me, and hear my humble pray'r. [2 Part] 7 O shew thy wondrous grace on them whose trust on thee relies: Who sav'st by thy right hand from those who up against them rise. 8 O keep me now as thou wouldst keep the apple of thine eye; Under the shadow of thy wings hide me continually. 9 From all the threat'ning faces of the wicked who me waste, And from my deadly enemies, who me around invest. 10 In their gross fat thy are enclos'd, boast with their mouths likewise; 11 In all our steps they compass us; to earth they bow their eyes. 12 They like a roaring lion are, who greedy is for prey; Like a young lion watching in his secret place, are they. 13 But LORD arise, his face prevent; O make him down to bow; And from the wicked one, thy sword, my soul deliver thou. 14 From mortal men thy hand, O LORD, from mortal men me save, Who in this transient time of life their only portion have. Thy hidden stores their bellies fill, and filled are their sons; And all the rest they save and leave to their young little ones. 15 But I in righteousness thy face with joy shall clearly see; And waking with thine image, I shall satisfied be. Scripture: Psalm 17

Jehovah in my great distress

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 JEHOVAH, in my great distress I place my trust in Thee: O let me not be put to shame to perpetuity. 2 But in thy truth and righteousness rescue and set me free: O bow to me thy gracious ear, and save me speedily. 3 Be Thou the rock where I may dwell, and constantly resort: To save me Thou commanded hast, who art my rock and fort. 4 My God, free me from wicked hands, hands cruel, as unjust; 5 For Lord JEHOVAH Thou my hope, and from my youth my trust; 6 Thou hast upheld me from my birth, thro' all my dang'rous days; Yea, from my mother's womb me took; and I'll Thee ever praise. [2 Part] 7 To many I a wonder am: be Thou my refuge strong; 8 And let my mouth resound thy praise and honour, all day long. 9 In time of my declining age O cast me not from Thee: And as I find my strength decay O now forsake not me. 10 For my malicious enemies against me falsely speak; And they who for my soul lay wait together counsel take. 11 For GOD, they say, hath him forsook, 'Now persecute ye him, And seize him Now; for there is none 'to save, or him redeem.' 12 O GOD, in this my great distress, be Thou not far from me; But for my help, O Thou my God, come to me speedily. [3 Part] 14 But I with hope and patience still on Thee will waiting be; And I will add yet more and more to all the praise of Thee. 15 My mouth shall forth thy righteousness, and thy salvation show, From day to day; for of the same no number do I know. 16 I in the strength of God the LORD with joy will still go on; I'll celebrate thy righteousness, yea mention thine alone. 17 From my youth up, O gracious GOD, Thou hast instructed me: And hitherto I have declar'd the wonders wrought by Thee. 18 And now forsake me not, o GOD, while old and grey I grow; till to this age, and all to come thy mighty pow'r I show. 19 Also thy righteousness, O GOD, is high exceedingly; Great are the tings which Thou hast wrought, O GOD, who's like to Thee! [4 Part] 20 Thou, who hast caused me to see afflictions great and sore, Wilt turn, revive me, and with joy from depths of earth restore. 21 Yea more than this; Thou wilt ev'n cause my greatness to abound; And with exceeding comfort Thou wilt wholly me surround. 22 I with the psalt'ry will Thee praise, Thy truth, my God, make known; And with the harp I'll sing to Thee, O Isr'el's HOLY ONE 23 Now greatly will my lips rejoyce, while I sing praise to Thee; So shall my soul because thou hast, redeem'd and set it free. 24 And as Thou those who sought my hurt, confounded hast with shame; My grateful tongue thy righteousness shall ev'ry day proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 71

A Psalm of David

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Jehovah in thy strength Lyrics: 1 Jehovah in thy strength the king shall joyful be: In thy salvation, how exult exceedingly shall he! 2 Thou granted hast to him, that which his heart would have; Yet thou from him hast not with-held all that his lips did crave (Selah.) 3 With blessings very great thou hast prevented him; Of finest gold, thou on his head, hast set a diadem. 4 Of Thee he asked life; to him Thou didst it give, Yea such a length of days, that he for evermore should live. 5 In thy salvation is his glory very great, Honour and majesty thou hast distinguish'd on him set. 6 For thou for evermore hast him most blessed made: Thou mak'st him with thy countenance to be exceeding glad. 7 Because the King does trust upon JEHOVAH; He, Thro' mercy of the highest One shall never moved be. 8 Thy hand shall find out all who foes to thee still are; And thy right hand shall find out them who hatred to thee bear. 9 Like as a fiery ov'n thine anger make them shall: The LORD in wrath will them devour; and fire consume them all. 10 Thou wilt destroy their fruit, from off the earth, their race; So that among the sons of men their seed shall have no place: 11 Because against thee they a mischeif did intend: A wicked plot did they devise; but cannot reach their end. 12 For thou wilt make them fly, whenever thou shalt place Thine arrows ready on thy string, and point them at their face. 13 Exalt thy self, O LORD! thy strength in glory raise; So joyful psalms we'll sing to Thee, thy mighty pow'r we'll praise. Scripture: Psalm 21

The floods, O LORD, have lifted up, the floods lift up their voice, The floods have lifted up their waves, and make a dashing noise. 4 The LORD on high is mightier far than many waters noise: Yea mightier than the raging seas, when all their billows rise. 5 Thy testimonies, LORD, are sure: and holiness always, Becomes thy house, and all who there assemble for thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 93

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Judge me, O GOD, and plead my cause with nation merciless; And from the man of guile and wrong, O send thou me redress. 2 For of my strength Thou art the God: reject me why dost Thou? Why go I mourning grievously, oppresed by the foe? 3O Send thou forth thy light and truth, let them conduct me near, And bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy dwellings there. 4 Then will I to GOD's altar go, to God my highest joy: Yea, Thee to praise, O GOD my God, I will my harp employ. 5 My soul, O wherefore dost thou bow thy self down heavily? And wherefore so disquieted, and troubled art in me? 6 Hope thou in GOD, because I shall with praise Him yet advance; Who is my God; He also is health of my countenance. Scripture: Psalm 43

Scripture: Psalm 26
