A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Jehovah to my words give ear Lyrics: 1 JEHOVAH, to my words give ear; My solemn meditation weigh: 2 O hear my cry, my king, my God, For I to Thee alone, will pray. 3 In early morning Thou my voice Wilt O JEHOVAH kindly hear; Fro in the morning I'll look up, And will to thee direct my pray'r. 4 For Thou art not a God who dost Allow the least iniquity; Neither shall evil dwell with Thee; Nor fools shall stand before thine eye. 5 thou all ill doers dost abhor; Wilt them destroy who utter lies: 6 JEHOVAH loaths the bloody man, And those who fraudful arts devise. 7 But in thy many mercies now Enter into thy house will I, And in thy fear will bow my self Before thy house of sanctity. Because of my observing foes, LORD lead me in thy righteousness; Direct me in thy perfect way, And make it plain before my face. 9 For in their mouth there is no truth; Their heart full of iniquities; An open sepulchre their throat; Their tongue is mov'd with flatteries. 10 O GOD, Thou wilt them quite destroy, By their own counsels make them fall, And in their many Sins cast out; For they to thee are rebles all. 11 But let all those who trust in Thee, For ever shout with joyful noise, For thou defendest them; and those who love thy name, in Thee rejoyce. 12 For to the righteous, Thou, O LORD, Wilt cause thy blessing to extend; As with a shield, thy favour, them Wilt crown and round about defend. Scripture: Psalm 5

The Grace of the divine FATHER, and Fulness of CHRIST

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Jehovah, we in Hymns of Praise Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, we in Hymns of Praise Thy matchless Grace adore. That Grace that gave thy only son; What couldst thou give us more? He's all in all; his Saints in Him Divine Perfection view; 'Tis of his Fulness they receive All Grace and Glory too. 2 He freely gave his blood, the Price Of our eternal Bliss: Since no less could atone for Sin, His Love would give no less. He in the wine-press of thy wrath For guilty men was crush'd; Humbled himself to die, and laid His Honour in the dust. 3 That we might at his Table sit, And be replenish'd there With these dear pledges of his Grace, Till we his Glory share.

Communion with CHRIST and Saints

Appears in 245 hymnals First Line: Jesus invites his Saints Lyrics: 1 Jesus invites his Saints To meet around his Board; Here Pardon'd Rebels sit and hold Communion with their Lord. For Food he gives his Flesh; He bids us drink his Blood; Amazing Favour! matchless Grace Of our descending God! 2 This holy Bread and Wine Maintains our fainting Breath, By Union with our living Lord, And Int'rest in his Death. Our heav'nly Father calls Christ and his Members one; We the young Children of his Love, And he the first-born Son. 3 We are but sev'ral Parts Of the same broken Bread; One Body hath its sev'ral Limbs, But Jesus is the Head. Let all our Pow'rs be join'd His glorious Name to raise; Pleasure and Love fill ev'ry Mind, And ev'ry Voice be Praise.

The Memorial of our absent LORD

Appears in 145 hymnals First Line: Jesus is gone above the Skies Lyrics: 1 Jesus is gone above the Skies, Where our weak Senses reach him not; And carnal Objects court our Eyes To thrust our Saviour from our Thought. He knows what wand'ring Hearts we have, Apt to forget his lovely Face; And, to refresh our Minds, he gave These kind Memorials of his Grace. 2 The Lord of Life this Table spread With his own Flesh and dying Blood, We on the rich Provision feed, And taste the Wine, and bless our God. Let sinful Sweets be all forgot, And Earth grow less in our Esteem; Christ and his Love fill ev'ry Thought, And Faith and Hope be fix'd on Him. 3 While He is absent from our Sight, 'Tis to prepare our Souls a Place, That we may dwell in heav'nly Light, And live for ever near his Face. Our Eyes look upwards to the Hills Whence our returning Lord shall come; We wait thy Chariots hast'ning Wheels, To fetch our longing Spirits home.

The Offices of CHRIST

Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Join all the Names of Love and Pow'r Lyrics: 1 Join all the Names of Love and Pow'r That ever Men or Angels bore, All are too mean to speak his Worth, Or set Immanuel's Glory forth. But O what condescending Ways He takes to teach his heav'nly Grace! My Eyes with Joy and Wonder see What Forms of Love he bears for me. 2 The Angel of the Cov'nant stands With his Commission in his Hands, Sent from his Father's milder Throne To make the great Salavation known. Great Prophet, let me bless thy Name; By thee the joyful Tidings came, Of Wrath appeas'd, of Sins forgiv'n, Of Hell subdu'd, and peace with Heav'n. 3 My bright Example, and my Guide, I would be walking near thy Side; O let me never run astray, Nor follow the forbidden Way! I love my Shepherd, he shall keep My wand'ring Soul among his Sheep; He feeds his Flock, he calls their Names, And in his Bosom bears the Lambs. 4 My Surety undertakes the Cause, Answ'ring his Father's broken laws; Behold my Soul at Freedom set, My Surety paid the dreadful Debt. Jesus my Great High Priest has dy'd, I seek no Sacrifice beside; Thy Blood did once for all atone, And now it pleads before the Throne. 5 My Advocate appears on high, The Father lays his Thunder by; Not all that Earth or Hell can say Shall turn my Father's Heart away. My Lord, my Conqu'ror, and my King. Thy Scepter and thy Sword I sing; Thine is the Vict'ry, and I sit A joyful Subject at thy Feet. 6 Aspire, my Soul, to glorious Deeds, The Captain of Salvation leads; March on, nor fear to win the Day, Tho' Death and Hell obstruct the Way. Should Death and Hell, and Pow'rs unknown, Put all their Forms of Mischief on, I shall be safe; for Christ displays Salvation in more Sov'reign Ways.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord, save me from malicious men Lyrics: 1 Lord, save me from malicious men, such as injurious are; 2 Who mischief in their hearts contrive, and daily meet for war. 3 Like serpents they make sharp their tongues for piercing calumnies; Conciev'd beneath their guileful lips the adder's poison lies. 4 LORD, keep me from ungodly hands, from vi'lent men me save; Who to o'erthrow me in my steps a wicked purpose have. 5 The proud for me have hid their snares, and cords to draw their net, Which they have spread across my paths and traps for me have set. 6 O LORD, Thou art my God, I cry'd; whom I love, chuse and fear; O to my supplications voice LORD, give a gracious ear. 7 O Lord JEHOVAH, Thou the strength of my salvation wast; And in the day of battle Thou my head safe cov'red hast. [2 Part] 8 Grant not, O LORD, what wicked men desire unrighteously; Nor further Thou their ill designs, lest they triumph on high. 9 But for the leading heads of those who round encompass me; Ev'n with the mischief of their lips they quite shall cover'd be. 10 On them shall burning coals be cast; and He will make them fall, Into deep pits and glowing fire, to rise no more at all. 11 The man of evil tongue shall not at peace on earth arrive: Evil shall chase the violent and to destruction drive. 12 The LORD, I know, for the oppress'd and poor will judgment give. 13 Surely the just shall priase thy naem, and in thy presence live. Scripture: Psalm 140

A Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lord, strive with them who with me strive Lyrics: 1 LORD strive with them who with me strive; Against them fight that fight with me: 2 Of shield and buckler take thou hold; And O arise my help to be. 3 Draw forth the spear and stop the course Of my pursuers speedily; And to my soul O do thou say, "I will a saviour be to Thee." 4 With shame shall they confounded be, Who seek my harmless soul to seize; And with disgrace be turned back, Who plot to do me injuries. 5 JEHOVAH's angel shall them chase As chaff before the driving wind: 6 Their way shall dark and slipper be, JEHOVAH's angle drive behind! 7 For causlesly within a pit They hid a net me to ensnare; A pit which they without a cause Did dig, and for my soul prepare. 8 But ruin on them unawares Shall come; and in their hidden net They shall be caught, and ruin'd by The snare their hand for me had set. 9 My soul shall in the LORD rejoyce, In his salvation joyful be; 10 And all my bones with joy shall sing "JEHOVAH, who is like to Thee!" "Who sav'st the poor and weak from those "Who for him are too great and strong; "The poor and needy one from those "Who him oppress with spoil and wrong!" [2 Part] 11 False witnesses arose; and things I never knew, to me they laid: 12 To spoil my soul, ungratefully they evil for my good repaid. 13 But as for me, when they were sick I put on sackcloth and I mourn'd; My soul with fasting griev'd; my pray'r Within my bosom oft return'd. 14 As for my friend and brother dear; So tenderly behave did I; As for a dying mother wept, And I bow'd downward heavily. 15 Yet they in my distress rejoyce, And they against me gathered are; The basest meet unknown to me, And never cease my name to tear. 16 With scoffing hypocrites at feasts, Who get their bread with flatteries; They gnash against me with their teeth, and sland'rous jests on me devise. 17 O Lord how long wilt thou look on? From their destruction rescue me! My precious soul make haste to save, My dearest from young lions free! 18 So I to Thee will render thanks Within the congregation great: And I will celebrate thy praise, Where multitudes to worship meet. [3 Part] 19 O let them not o'er me rejoyce, Who are my wrongful enemies; Not those who hate me causlesly, Deride me with their scornful eyes. 20 For they, nor speak, nor aim for peace, But they the words of fraud contrive, Against those people in the land Who love in quietness to live. 21 Yea they with open mouths on me Laugh out and say, "Our eye it saw!" 22 LORD, Thou hast seen: hold not they peace: Lord, do not far from me withdraw. 23 O to my judgment and my cause My God, my Lord, awake and rise: 24 LORD judge me in thy righteousness, My God, lest they o'er me rejoyce. 25 O never let their hearts exult, "Ha! ha! our souls desire have we!" Nor ever suffer them to boast, That they have wholly swallow'd me. 26 Confounded and asham'd shall be All those who at my hurt are glad; And those who now against me boast, With shame and with disgrace be clad. 27 Let those who love my righteous cause, Rejoyce and shout; and never cease To say, "The LORD be magnify'd, "Who loves to see his servants peace." 28 And so, to shout thy righteousness, Shall be th' employment of my tongue And thy high praises to set forth, From day to day, and all day long

A Psalm or David, the Servant of the LORD; who spake to the LORD the Words of this Song in the Day that the LORD delivered him from all his Enemies, and from the Hand of Saul: and he said;

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord, thee, my strength, I'll dearly love Lyrics: 1 LORD thee my strength I'll dearly love: 2 The LORD's my rock and refuge sure, My fortress, saviour, God and shield, My rock, on whom I rest secure; My horn of safety, my high tow'r: 3 JEHOVAH I will call on Thee Who worthy to be praised art; So from my foes sav'd I shall be. 4 Amazing sorrows seiz'd my soul, While death its cords around me laid; As when impetuous torrents roll Ungodly men my soul dismay'd. 5 The cords of hell encompass'd me, And death it's snares around me drew; They seiz'd and caught me unawares, E'er I th' approaching danger knew. 6 Distress'd, I called on the LORD, Cry'd to my God, and He did hear; He from his temple heard my voice, My cry receiv'd into his ear. 7 And then the earth affrighted shook, The utmost trembling on it seiz'd: The mountains their foundations mov'd, Because they saw him high displeas'd. 8 Smoke from his nostrils there arose; And fire devouring dreadfully Forth from his mouth their issued; Bright coals enkindled were thereby. 9 The heav'ns aloft He made to bow, Descending in a martial form; And all beneath his feet appear'd, Thick darkness, and a gath'ring storm. 10 He on a flying cherub rode, In his exalted majesty: And on the wings of swiftest winds, He irresistibly did fly. 11 He darkness made his secret place: His awful covert round him were Darkness of waters and thick clouds, Which overspread the gloomy air. 12 But at the brightness flashing forth Before him, his thick clouds conspire To pass along, and cast abroad Hail-stones, and burning coals of fire. [2 Part.] 13 From heav'n JEHOVAH thundred loud; The highest gave his mighty voice; Hail-stones, and glowing coals of fire He cast with dreadful pow'r and noise. 14 His arrows forth he sent abroad, Which made my foes disperse and fly; His light'nings shot and multiply'd, Which them defeated utterly. 15 Then were the waters channels seen, The world's foundations op'ned were, At thy rebuke LORD, at the blast Of thy displeasure's breath, laid bare. 16 From heav'n he sent and on me seiz'd, And from the mighty waters drew; 17 He sav'd me from my mighty foes, Whose pow'r too mighty for me grew. 18 In my dark day they me surpriz'd; Yet was the LORD a stay to me. 19 Because in me He took delight, He hath enlarg'd and set me free. 20 The LORD rewarded my pure hands, And recompenc'd my upright heart; 21 For I did keep JEHOVAH's ways, Nor wickedly my God desert. 22 For all his laws before me were, His statutes from me put not I: 23 Yea I before him was upright, And kept from mine iniquity. 24 According to my uprightness Therefore the LORD rewarded me; And to the pureness of my hands, Which his all-viewing eye did see. [3 Part] 25 Thou gracious to the gracious art, To upright ones wilt upright be; 25 Pure to the pure; but strive with them Who froward are, and strive with thee. 27 For thou wilt the afflicted save, And high looks thou wilt bring down low: 28 But Thou wilt light my lamp; the LORD My God, my darkness whine into. 29 By thee with dauntless courage fir'd, Embattled troops I pierced thro': An by my God assisting me, I scal'd the ramparts of my foe. 30 The way of God most perfect is; JEHOVAH's word is thro'ly try'd; He is their shield, their sure defence, Who stedfastly in him confide. 31 For who is God except the LORD? O who a rock our God beside? 32 It's God who girdeth me with strength, And in a perfect way does guide: 33 He makes my feet swift as the roe; On my high places makes me stand; 34 Mine arms can break the brazen bow, So well for war he taught my hand. 35 The shield of thy salvation Thou Bestowed likewise hast on me; And thy right hand hath me upheld; Thy favour made me great to be. [4 Part] 35 My steps Thou mad'st both large and sure, As I my flying foes pursu'd: 37 I overtook them: nor did turn, Till I had wholly them subdu'd. 38 So fatally I wounded them, In vain they try'd their heads to rear; And all bereav'd of strength thy fell, Beneath my feet, and grovel'd there. 39 Thou girdest me with fortitude To battle with my mighty foes; And hast subdued them to me Who fiercely up against me rose. 40 The necks of all mine enemies, By Thee to me subjected are; That I might justly cut them off Who to me mortal hatred bear. 41 They cry'd and call'd out earnestly; But there was none appear'd to save: Yea even to the LORD himself; But He to them no answer gave. 42 Then like the dust driv'n all abroad, When boist'rous winds arise and blow, I beat them small; and as the dirt Into the street, I them did throw. 43 From all the people's strivings Thou Hast me deliv'red this glad day, And of the nations made me head: People unknown shall me obey. 44 At the first hearing they'l submit: Strangers shall bow themselves to me: 45 The strangers sons shall fade away, And from their coverts frighted be. [5 Part] 46 Live LORD, and let my rock be bless'd; My Saviour God* exalted be; 47 God who avenges me, and who brings down the people under me. 48 My saviour from mine enemies: Yea me thou hast advanc'd indeed Above them that against me rose, And from the vi'lent mean me freed. 49 Therefore among the nations, LORD, To Thee my thanks I will proclaim; To Thee, victorious loudly will Sing forth the praises of thy name. 50 He great deliv'rance gives his king, And boundless favour has in store, For his MESSIAH, DAVID sure, And for HIS SEED for evermore. Scripture: Psalm 18
