Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice

Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #XXXIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; it is a seemly sight That upright men with thankful voice should praise the Lord of might. 2 Praise ye the Lord with harp, and sing to him with psaltery, With ten-string'd instrument sounding, praise ye the Lord most high: 3 Sing to the Lord a song most new, with courage give him praise, For why? his word is ever true, his works and all his ways: 4 Both judgment, equity and right he ever lov'd and will, And with his gifts he doth delight the earth throughout to fill. 5 For by the word of God alone the heav'ns above were wrought, Their hosts and powers ev'ry one his breath to pass has brought. 6 The waters great gather'd hath he on heaps within the shore, And hid them in the depth to be as in a house of store. 7 Let all the earth then fear the Lord, and keep his righteous law, And all the world with one accord dread him and stand in awe. 8 What he commanded, wrought it was at once with utmost speed; What he doth will is brought to pass with full effect indeed. 9 The counsels of the nations rude the Lord doth bring to naught, He doth defeat the multitude of their device and thought: 10 But his decrees continue still, they never slack nor 'swage; The motions of his mind and will take place in ev'ry age. The Second Part. 11 Blessed are they to whom the Lord as God and guide is known, Whom he doth choose of mere accord to take them as his own. 12 The Lord from heav'n did cast his sight on men mortal by birth, Beholding from his seat of might the dwellers on the earth. 13 The Lord, I say, whose hand hath wrought man's heart, and doth it frame, 'Tis he alone doth know the thought and working of the same. 14 A king that trusteth in his host shall nought prevail at length, The man that of his might doth boast shall fail for all his strength: 15 The troops of horsemen all shall fail, their sturdy steeds shall swerve; The strength of horse shall not prevail the rider to preserve: 16 But lo, the eyes of God attend and watch to aid the just, With such as fear him to offend, and on his goodness trust; 17 That he of death and great distress may set their souls from dread, And if that dearth their land oppress in hunger them to feed. 18 Wherefore our soul doth whole depend on God our strength and stay He is our shield, us to defend, and drive all darts away. 19 Our joyful souls alway proclaim his power and his might; For why? in his most holy name we hope and much delight. 20 Therefore let thy goodness, O Lord, still present with us be, As we always with one accord do only trust in thee.

Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #15b (1640) First Line: Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce, it is a seemly sight: That upright men with thankfull voice should praise the Lord of might. 2 Praise ye the Lord with harp and song in Psalmes and pleasant things: With Lutem and instrument among, that soundeth with ten strings. 3 Sing to the Lord a song most new, with courage give him praise: 4 For why? his word is ever true, his works and all his waies. 5 To judgement, equity and right, he hath a great good will: And with his gifts he doth delight the earth throughout to fill. 6 For by the word of God alone the heavens all were wroght: Their hoasts and powers every one his breath to passe hath brought. 7 The waters great gathered hath he on heapes within the shore: And hid them in the depth to be, as in a house of store. 8 All men on earth both least and most, feare God and keep his law. Ye that inhabit in each coast dread him and stand in awe. 9 What he commanded wrought it was at once with present speed: What he doth will is brought to passe with full effect indeed. 10 The counsels of the nations rude the Lord doth bring to naught: He doth defeate the multitude of their device and thought. 1 But his decrees continue still, they never slack nor swage: The motions of his mind and will take place in every age. The second Part: 12 And blest they to whom the Lord as God and guide is known: Whom he doth chuse of meere accord, to take them as his own. 13 The Lord from heaven cast his sight, on men mortall by birth: 14 Considering from his seat of might the dwellers on the earth. 15 The Lord, I say, whose had hath wrought man's heart, and doth it frame: For he alone doth know the thought and working of the same. 16 A King that trusteth in his hoast, shall nought prevaile at length; The man that of his might doth boast, shall fail for all his strength. 17 The troops of horsemen eke shall fail, their sturdy steeds shall swerve: The strength of horse shall not prevaile, the rider to preserve. 18 But lo the eyes of God intend and watch to aid the just: With such as feare him to offend, and on his goodnesse trust: 19 That he of death and great distresse, may set their soules from dread; And if that dearth their land oppresse, in hunger them to feed. 20 Wherefore our soul doth whole depend on God our strength and stay, He is our shield us to defend, and drive all darts away. 21 Our soule in God hath joy and game, rejoycing in his might: For why? in his most holy Name we hope and much delight. 22 Therefore let thy goodnesse O Lord, still present with us be: As we alwaies with one accord. do only trust in thee.
