A Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lord, in thy tabernacle, who Lyrics: 1 Lord, in thy tabernacle, who a soujourner shall be? And who is he inhabit shall Thy mount of sanctity? 2 The man who walketh uprightly, who worketh righteousness; And who the truth within his heart does uprightly express. 3 Who with his tongue backbiteth not, nor does his neighbour hurt; Nor yet against his neighbour doth take up an ill report. 4 Whose eyes the vile, tho' great, contemn; but all the LORD who fear, He honours; and he changes not, tho' to his hurt he swear. 5 Who to oppressing usury, his money hath not let; Nor taketh a reward or bribe against the innocent.

Lord, in thy tabernacle, who

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, in thy tabernacle who Wilt thou with welcome entertain? Who on thy mount of sanctity, A constant dweller shall remain? 2 The man who walketh uprightly, That always worketh righteousness, And what is in his honest-heart Does truly with his mouth express. 3 Who with his tongue backbiteth not, Nor does his neighbor any wrong, Nor takes up a reproach to hurt His neighbour from another's tongue. 4 Whose eyes the vile, tho' great, contemn, But honours all who fear the LORD: Who truly swears, tho' to his hurt; And changes not, but keeps his word. 5 Who to oppressing usury Hath not for gain his money lent; Nor taketh a reward or bribe To wrong a person innocent. Who constantly observes these things, And does all in sincerity; Is surely in a happy state, And he shall never moved be. Scripture: Psalm 15 Text Sources: Chiefly from Dr. Ford: but nearer the Original.

A Psalm of David, to bring to Remembrance

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lord, in thy wrath rebuke me not Lyrics: 1 LORD in thy wrath rebuke me not, Nor in thine anger me chastise; 2 For fix'd in me thine arrows are And sore thine hand upone me lies. 3 No soundness is there in my flesh, Because thy wrath on me doth lie; Nor in my bones is any rest, Because of mine iniquity. 4 Because my many trespasses Pass'd o'err my head and passing are; And as a mighty burden, they Too heavy press for me to bear. 5 My wounds are noisome and corrupt; My foolishness has made them so, 6 I'm bent and greatly bowed down, I all day long a mourning go. 7 Fill'd are my loins with loathsome sores, And in my flesh is no sound part: 8 I weak and lonely broken am, I roar in anguish of my heart. [2 Part] 9 Lord, with Thee is my whole desire, My groaning is not hid form Thee; 10 My heart doth pant, my strength all failes, And mine eyes sight is gone from me. 11 My lovers and familiar friends Stand far off from my noisome sore; My neighbours and my kindred dear Aloof stand, nor come near me more. 12 Yea they who seek my life, lay snares; And they who wish to do me wrong, Speak mischief, and their hearts devise Deceits against me all day long. 13 But I, as deaf, seem'd not to hear; And silent, as one dumb was I; 14 Was like a man that did not hear, And in whose mouth is no reply. 15 For LORD, my hope against my foes. Is fixed wholly upon thee; And Thou, O Lord my God, I trust Wilt kindly hear and answer me. 16 O hear Thou me said I, least they should triumph over me with pride: Themselves against me magnify When they shall see my feet to slide. 17 For I am ready now to halt, Thro' grief continually with me; 18 Wherefore my faults I will declare, And for my sins will grieved be. 19 But lively are mine enemies Their pow'r most formidably grows; They multiply with great encrease, Who are without a cause my foes. 20 Yea those who ill for good return, Are to me deadly enemies; And thus malicious are, because I what is good pursue and prize. 21 JEHOVAH, O forsake me not! My God, be not far off from me! 22 O Lord, who my salvation art, Make haste to help and set me free! Scripture: Psalm 38

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

Justice shall go before his face, And in the way his steps shall place

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord, thou didst signal favors show Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou didst signal favours show, to thine afflicted land; Jacob's captivity Thou didst, bring back with mighty hand. 2 Yea Thou thy people didst forgive, their great iniquities; And all their aggravated sins didst cover from thine eyes. (Selah) 3 Thou all thine anger didst withdraw, which on them heavy lay; And from the fierceness of thy wrath, didst wholly turn away. 4 O God of our salvation, now return us by thy grace; And tow'rds us thy displeasure sore, O cause Thou quite to cease. 5 Or shall thine anger thus endure, against us without end? And ev'n to generations all, wilt Thou thy wrath extend? 6 O wilt thou not return again, and us revive, that we Thy saved people greatly may, rejoyce again in Thee? 7 O great JEHOVAH now to us, thy tender mercy show; And thy salvation as a gift of grace, on us bestow. [2 Part] 8 I'll hear what God the LORD will speak: speak to his people peace, And to his saints; but let not them return to foolishness. 9 Sure, his salvation now is nigh, to them who Him revere; That glory may adorn our land, and happily dwell here. 10 Mercy and truth have sweet access, and with great pleasure meet; And perfect righteousness and peace, with mutual kisses greet. 11 Truth and uprightness on the earth, out of men's hearts, shall spring; And righteousness from heav'n look down, descend and blessings bring, 12 Yea ev'ry good thing will the LORD give to us bounteously; And then our land shall her increase, yield with a rich supply. 13 Before Him righteousness shall go, and all his paths prepare; And in the way his steps will guide, and place with happy care.
