(A Psalm) of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O let Jehovah blessed be Lyrics: 1 O let JEHOVAH blessed be, who is my rock of might: My hands he teaches how to war, my fingers how to fight. 2 My goodness, fortress, my high tow'r, saviour and shield is He; In whom I trust, and who subdues my people under me. 3 LORD, what is man, that Thou of him should'st any knowledge take; Or son of man, that Thou of him so great account dost make? 4 For man is like to vanity, uncertain here to stay; His days like shades of flying clouds pass hastily away. 5 LORD, bow thy heav'ns above, come down; and with thy thunder's stroke Do Thou but once the mountains touch, and they will rise in smoke. 6 Cast forth thy lightnings, and disperse thine enemies around; And make thy piercing arrows fly, and all their pow'r confound. 7 Thine hand O send Thou from above, redeem and rescue me; From mighty waters, from the hand of strangers set me free. 8 Whose evil mouths are wont to speak falshood and vanity; And whose right hand a right hand is of fraud and perfidy. [2 Part] 9 O God, new songs I'll sing to Thee, upon the psaltery; And on a ten-string'd instrument to Thee sing praise will I. 10 It is He only who to kings salvation doth afford; And who his servant David saves from the destroying sword. 11 Free me from bands of strangers sons, whose mouths speak vanity. And whose right hand a right hand is of fraud and perfidy. 12 But let our sons in youthful age as thriving plants appear; Daughters like polish'd corner stones which grace a palace fair. 13 That to afford all kinds of stores, our garners may be fill'd; Our cattle thousands in our streets, yea may ten thousands yield. 14 Our oxen for their labour strong; no enemy invade; No leading captive; no complaint in all our streets be made. 15 O happy people they, who are in such a case as this; But far more happy people they whose God JEHOVAH is. Scripture: Psalm 144

A Prayer of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord, bow down thine ear Lyrics: 1 O Lord, bow down thine ear, and hearken to my cry; For poor and wholly destitute of other help am I. 2 Preserve my soul, for I devoted am to Thee; My God, thy servant save, who makes his trust in Thee his plea. 3 O Lord be merciful to me, I earnest pray; Because I cry to Thee alone, importunate all day. 4 Rejoyce thy servant's soul, for I to Thee, O Lord, Lift up my troubled soul, in hope that Thou wilt help afford. 5 For Thou, O Lord, art good; to pardon fully free; Yea in thy mercy rich art Thou, to all who call on Thee. 6 JEHOVAH to my cry O give a gracious ear; and to my supplications voice attend, and kindly hear. 7 In days of my distress I will to Thee complain; Because I surely know that Thou, wilt answer me again. 8 Among the GODS, O Lord, not one is like to Thee; Nor any works that to thy works, may once compared be. [2 Part] 9 The nations, all, O Lord, whom thy great pow'r did frame, Shall come before and bow to Thee, and glorify thy name. 10 For Thou art high and great; the things that Thou hast done, Are truly marvellous and show, that Thou art GOD alone. 11 Teach me thy way of truth, and I will walk the same; And LORD, to Thee unite my heart, that I may fear thy name. 12 O Lord my God, Thee praise, with all my heart will I; Yea constantly and evermore, thy name will glorify. 13 Because thy mercy is exceeding great to me; And from the grave and lowest hell, Thou hast my soul set free. [3 Part] 14 O GOD, the violent and proud in troops arise Against me, and they seek my soul, nor have Thee in their eyes. 15 But Lord, Thou art a God compassionate and kind; Long-suff'ring Thou, and in thy truth, and mercy unconfin'd. 16 O turn to me thy face, to me be mercy shown, They strength, O, to thy servant give, and save thine handmaid's son. 17 Shew me a sign for good, and let my haters see And be asham'd, because Thou LORD, dost help and comfort me Scripture: Psalm 86

A Psalm of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush the Benjamite

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord my God, I wholly place Lyrics: 1 O LORD my God, I wholly place my confidence in Thee: Form all my persecuting foes, save and deliver me. 2 Lest like to rending lions they my soul in pieces tare; And when they tare, to rescue me there should not one appear. 3 O thou JEHOVAH, O my God, if this thing done have I; If in these hands of mine there be wrongful iniquity; 4 If I have rendred ill to him who was at peace with me; (Yea rather I released have my causeless enemy;) 5 Then let the foe pursue my soul, and seize it as a prey; Let him my life tread to the earth, in dust my honour lay. (Selah) 6 LORD, rise in wrath; left up thy self; my raging foes withstand; Wake for me to the judgment thou dost rightfully command. 7 So the great congregation shall encompass thee with joy; O therefore for their sake return, to thy bright seat on high. 8 The LORD will all the people judge: JEHOVAH judge thou me According to my righteousness,* and mine integrity. [2 Part] 9 Let end the wicked's wickedness, but the just ratify, Because O thou the righteous GOD the hearts and reins dost try. 10 In GOD is my defence, who saves the right in heart and way: 11 But GOD the righteous judge is wroth, with sinners ev'ry day. 12 Unless that turning they repent, his sword he sharp will whet; Yea has already bent his bow, and has it ready set. 13 Against the persecutors made his arrows ready hath; He ready has prepar'd for them the instruments of death. 14 Behold they travail as in birth with vain iniquity: Behold how mischief they conceive, and then bring forth a lie. He dig'd a pit, and dig'd it deep, the innocent to take; But he is fall'n into the pit, which he himself did make. 16 Return on his mischievous head his mischief surely shall; And on his crown, his violence in righteousness shall fall. 17 According to his righteousness, JEHOVAH praise will I; And to his name a psalm I'll sing, who is the LORD most high. Scripture: Psalm 7

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord, my Rock, to thee I cry Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my rock, to Thee I cry; Be not Thou silent then to me; Lest by thy silence, I like them Descending to the pit should be. 2 Of my intreaties hear the voice, while to Thee loud for help I cry; While I lift up my hands towards Thine oracle of sanctity. 3 With ill men draw me not away, With workers of unrighteousness; who peace to all their neighbours speak, But in their heart is wickedness. 4 Thou wilt reward them for their deeds, According to their ill intents; According to their handy-works, Thou wilt them justly recompence. 5 Since they JEHOVAH's wonders slight, And working of his hand disdain; He will them righteously destroy, And will not build them up again. 6 The LORD be bless'd; for He hat heard The voice of my imploring cry: The LORD my strength, my shield; on Him My heart rely'd, and help'd was I. Therefore my heart exults with joy, And with my song I'll Him confess. 7 JEHOVAH is his people's strength, The strength of his MESSIAH is. 8 Salvation to thy people give; and bless Thou thine inheritance; Yea even to eternity Do Thou them feed and them advance. [This Verse in common Metre.] 8 Salvation to thy people give; bless thine inheritance; And even to eternity them feed and them advance. Scripture: Psalm 27

A Prayer of the afflicted when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his Complaint before the LORD

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord, now hear my mournful prayer Lyrics: 1 O LORD, now hear my mournful pray'r, And let my cry come up to Thee! 2 In this the day of my distress, Hide not thy face away from me: Thine ear to me, O do Thou bend, In this my time of pressing need, Wherein I cry aloud to Thee: O hear and answer me with speed! 3 For as the smoke my days consume, My bones burnt like an hearth decay; 4 My heart with sorrow smitten is And with'red like the grass away. So swallow'd up with grief am I, That I my bread forget to taste. 5 By reason of my groaning voice My bones ev'n to my skin cleave fast. 6 I'm like a mourning pelican, In the sad wilderness alone; Or bittern in a desart place, Who nightly makes a dismal moan. 7 I keep awake all night and am Like to a sparrow all alone, That on the house-top watching sits, And for her company hath none. 8 All day my foe reproaches me, And mad with rage, against me swears; 9 That for my bread I ashes eat, And mix my drink with streaming tears. 10 Thine anger is the cause of all, Thy wrath which on me dreadful frown'd; For Thou didst raise me up aloft, And now hast cast me to the ground. [2 Part] 11 Like shadows are my days declin'd; And like the wither'd grass I fall: 12 But LORD, Thou ever dost abide, Thy memory to ages all. 13 Thou wilt arise; to Zion dear Wilt now thy tender mercy show; For now tis time to favour her. Yea the appointed time is Now. 14 For in the very stones thereof Thy servants take a great delight, And even her despised dust Is ever precious in their sight. 15 So all the heathen nations round, Shall fear JEBOVAH's holy name; And all the Kings on earth shall see Thy glory, and revere the same. 16 For when the LORD shall Zion build, He in his glory will appear; 17 The poor's petition He'll regard, And He will not despise their pray'r. 18 This shall in writ enrolled be, For every succeeding race; That so the people to be form'd Th' eternal JAH may ever praise. 19 From heav'n his height of holiness, The LORD looks down on earth to see, 20 To hear the prisoners dismal groans, And the bound sons of death to free; 21 JEHOVAH's name in Zion-hill, His praise in Salem to declare; 22 When people meet to serve the LORD, And kingdoms to adore Him there. [3 Part] 23 Weak in the way my strength He made, And of my life cut short the day. 24 In midst of my few days, I cry'd, My God, O take me not away. Thy years thro'out all ages stay: 25 Thou hast the earth's foundations laid In elder time: and heav'ns above Are works that thine own hands have made. 26 They perish shall: but Thou shalt last, And they shall old like garments wear: Thou as a vesture shalt them change, And they shall changed quite appear. 27 But Thou the same abidest still, And of thy years no end shall be; 28 Thy servants race continue shall, Their seed establish'd be with Thee. Scripture: Psalm 102

O sing ye loudly to the Lord

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sing ye loudly to the LORD new songs of sacred mirth; O sing ye praises to the LORD, all people through the earth, 2 O cheerfully sing to the LORD, and bless his sacred name; And his salvation ev'ry day to all the world proclaim. 3 His glory in Himself and works, among the nations show; His works that are most marvellous let all the people know. 4 For great, JEHOVAH is indeed, and greatly prais'd to be; Above all GODS to be ador'd, and to be fear'd is He. 5 For of the heathen ail the Gods* vain and base idols are; But by the LORD, whom we adore, the heav'ns created were. 6 Glory and comely majesty appear before his face, Excelling pow'r with beauty join'd within his holy place. 7 O to the LORD ye people yield, and all of ev'ry tribe; All glory to JEHOVAH yield, and mighty pow'r ascribe. 8 The glory to JEHOVAH give, that to his name is due; Come ye into his courts, and bring an offering with you. 9 Worship the LORD in his abode, his beauteous, holy place; And let the universal earth tremble before his face. 10 Thro' nations say, JEHOVAH reigns, the world confirm'd shall be; It shall not move, but righteously the people judge will He. 11 O let the heav'ns at this be glad, and let the earth rejoyce; The sea and fulness of the same with roaring make a noise. 12 O let the fields and all therein with joyful triumph sing; Then all the trees throughout the woods with shouts of joy shall ring. 13 Before the LORD; for lo He comes, He comes the earth to try; He'll judge his people with his truth, the world with equity. Scripture: Psalm 96

O sing ye HALLELUJAH now

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sing ye HALLELUJAH now, And praise JEHOVAH's holy name; O all ye servants of the LORD, His praises all abroad proclaim. 2 Ye who within the house do stand, Wherein the LORD has his abode; And in the court-yards of his house, Who is by covenant our God. 3 Sing HALLELUJAH; for the LORD Is good: sing praises to his name; For it is sweet to be employ'd His praife in singing to proclaim. 4 For the eternal JAH hath chose, Jacob for his propriety; And his peculiar treasure hath, He taken Israel to be. 5 For well we know, the LORD is great, And that this sov'reign Lord of ours Transcends all that are called Gods, And reigns o'er all created powers. 6 In heav'n and earth the LORD hath done, Whatever his own mind did please; In the deep caverns of the earth, And in the great and swelling seas. 7 From the wide surface of the earth He makes the vapours to arise; He makes the lightning for the rain, And winds brings from his treasuries. [2 Part] 8 Egypt's first born, both man and beast 9 He slew: and wondrous tokens He On Pharaoh and his servants sent, O Egypt in the midst of thee. 10 Great nations smote, great kings he slew, 11 Sihon, who was of Hashhbon king, And Og of Bashan; and to nought All Canaan's kingdoms he did bring. 12 And gave their land an heritage, To his own people Israel. 13 O LORD, eternal is thy name, LORD, endless thy memorial, 14 JEHOVAH will his people judge, And for his servants turn again. 15 The heathen idols silver are And gold; the handy work of men. 16 Mouths have they, yet they cannot speak; And they have eyes, but never saw; 17 Ears have they, yet they nothing hear; Their mouths no breath can ever draw. 18 Such senseless flocks are they themselves, Who did these senseless idols frame; And such are all who to them pray, And put their confidence in them. 19 O house of Isr'el bless the LORD: The LORD bless--who of Aaron's are: 20 The LORD, O house of Levi bless: The LORD bless ye, the LORD who fear. 21 From Zion-hill his sacred seat, O let JEHOVAH blessed be; Who dwells within Jerusalem: O sing, sing HALLELUJAH ye. Scripture: Psalm 135

O that thou as my brother wert

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: The Church: 1 O that Thou as my brother wert, sucking my mother's breasts! I would Thee find abroad and kiss, and none should me disgrace: 2 I'd lead Thee to my mother's house, where skill she would me show: spic'd wine of my pomgranate juice to drink I'd make Thee too. 33 His soft left hand should underneath my ravish'd neck intwine; His right hand should around me bend, as one most dearly mine. 4 O daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you make no noise, To wake or to disturb my Love, till He shall please to rise.' [Daughters of Jerusalem] 5 But who is this that comes up now out of the wilderness, Leaning on her Beloved one? a pleasing sight is this! Christ to the Church: Thence, where thy mother thee did bear, beneath the apple-tree, Where she with pain had brought thee forth, ev'n thence I raised thee. The Church: 6 O set me then as a dear seal upon thy very heart; As a seal fix'd upon thine arm, that we may never part! For heav'nly love as strong as death; and no relenting knows, No more than the devouring grave; like burning coals it glows: 7 It's flames are like the flames of JAH, which many waters high Can never quench, nor flowing floods can drown, or e'r destroy. And if the wealthiest man on earth wou'd for thy love of me Give all the substance of his house, it quite despis'd shou'd be. 8 But we've a little sister fair, whose breasts are not yet grown: The day when su'd for she shall be, what shall for her be done? Christ: 9 Is she firm as a wall, we'll build on her silver tow'r: Or as an open door expos'd; with cedar boards secure. The Church: 10 Did He not see me like a wall? my breasts as tow'rs to rise? O then like one who favour found appear'd I in his eyes! 11 A vineyard in a fruitful soil had Solomon; and there The vineyard leafed out to them who vineyard-keepers were Each one a thousand silverlings for it's rare fruit repays. 12 My vineyard is before mine eyes and in my view always. Thy part, Solomon to Thee a thousand justly bares; And they who keep the fruit thereof two hundred have for theirs. 13 O thou who in the gardens dwel'st! they who companions are, To thy delightful voice attend: O cause Thou me to hear! 14 Make haste, O my Beloved one, like a swift roe to me; And like a fawn of harts upon the spicy mountains be! Scripture: Song of Solomon 8
