For evil doers fret thou not

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For evil doers fret thou not thyself unquietly; nor do thou envy bear to those that work iniquity. 2 For, even like unto the grass, soon be cut down shall they; and, like the green and tender herb they wither shall away. 3 Set thou thy trust upon the Lord, and be thou doing good; and so thou in the land shalt dwell, and verily have food. 4 Delight thyself in God; he’ll give thine heart’s desire to thee. 5 Thy way to God commit, him trust, it bring to pass shall he. 6 And, like unto the light, he shall thy righteousness display; and he thy judgment shall bring forth, like noon-tide of the day. 7 rest in the Lord, and patiently wait for him: do not fret for him who, prospering in his way, success in sin doth get. 8 Let anger cease within thy heart, and wrath forsake thou too: fret not thyself in any wise, that evil thou should’st do. 9 For those that evil-doers are shall be cut off and fall: but those that wait upon the Lord the earth inherit shall. 10 For yet a little while, and then the wicked shall not be; his place thou shalt consider well, but it thou shalt not see. 11 But by inheritance the earth the meek ones shall possess: they also shall delight themselves in an abundant peace. 12 The wicked gnashes with his teeth, and plots the just to slay; 13 the Lord shall laugh at him, because at hand he sees his day. 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and bent their bow, to slay the poor and needy, and to kill men of an upright way. 15 But their own sword, which they have drawn, shall enter their own heart; their bows which they have bent shall break, and into pieces part. 16 A little that a just man hath is more and better far than is the wealth of many such as vile and wicked are. 17 For sinners’ arms shall broken be; the Lord the just sustains. 18 The Lord doth know the just man’s ways; their heritage remains. 19 They shall not be ashamed when they the evil time do see; and when the days of famine are they satisfied shall be. 20 But wicked men, Jehovah's foes, as fat of lambs, decay; they shall consume, yea, into smoke they shall consume away. 21 The wicked borrows, but the same again he doth not pay: whereas the righteous mercy shows, and gives his own away. 22 For such as blessed be of him the earth inherit shall; and they that cursed are of him shall be destroyed all. 23 A good man’s footsteps by the Lord are ordered aright; and in the way wherein he walks he greatly doth delight. 24 Although he fall, yet shall he not be cast down utterly; because the Lord with his own hand upholds him mightily. 25 I have been young, and now am old, yet have I never seen the just man left, nor that his seed for bread have beggars been. 26 He’s ever merciful, and lends: his seed is blest therefore. 27 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore. 28 For God loves judgment, and his saints leaves not in any case; they are kept ever: but cut off shall be the sinner’s race. 29 The just inherit shall the land, and ever in it dwell. 30 The just man’s mouth doth wisdom speak; his tongue doth judgment tell. 31 His God's law is within his heart; his steps slide not away. 32 The wicked man doth watch the just, and seeketh him to slay. 33 Yet him the Lord will not forsake, nor leave him in his hands: the righteous will he not condemn, when he in judgment stands. 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and thee exalt shall he earth to inherit; when cut off the wicked thou shalt see. 35 I saw the wicked great in power spread like a green bay-tree: 36 he passed, yea, was not: him I sought, but found he could not be. 37 Mark thou the perfect, and behold the man of uprightness; because that surely of this man the latter end is peace. 38 But those men that transgressors are shall be destroyed together; the latter end of wicked men shall be cut off for ever. 39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord above; he in the time of their distress their stay and strength doth prove. 40 The Lord shall help and rescue them; he shall them free and save from wicked men; because in him their confidence they have.

Thou shalt arise and mercy have

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 13 Thou shalt arise and mercy have upon thy Zion yet; The time to favour her is come, the time that thou hast set. 14 For in her rubbish and her stones thy servants pleasure take; yea, they the very dust thereof do favour for her sake. 15 So shall the heathen people fear the Lord’s most holy name; and all the kings upon earth thy glory and thy fame. 16 For Zion by thy mighty Lord built up again shall be, and in his glorious majesty to men appear shall he. 17 The prayer of the destitute he surely will regard; their prayer he will not despise, by him it shall be heard. 18 For generations yet to come this shall be on record; so shall a people yet to be created praise the Lord. 19 For from his holy height the Lord hath downward cast his eye; and he upon the earth beneath hath looked from heaven high; 20 that of the mournful prisoner the groanings he might hear, to set them free that unto death by men appointed are: 21 That they in Zion may declare the Lord’s most holy name, and publish in Jerusalem the praises of the same; 22 when all the people gathered are in troops with one accord, and kingdoms are assembled all to serve the mighty Lord.

Seek ye the Lord while yet his ear

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 7 Seek ye the Lord while yet his ear is open to your call; while offer'd mercy still is near, before his footstool fall. 8 Let sinners quit their evil ways, their evil thoughts forego, and God, when they to him return, returning grace will show. 9 He pardons with o’erflowing love: for, hear the voice divine! My nature is not like to yours, nor like your ways are mine: 10 But far as heav’n’s resplendent orbs beyond earth’s spot extend, as far my thoughts, as far my ways, your ways and thoughts transcend. 11 And as the rains from heav’n distil, nor thither mount again, but swell the earth with fruitful juice, and all its tribes sustain: 12 So not a word that flows from me shall ineffectual fall; but universal nature prove obedient to my call. 13 With joy and peace shall then be led the glad converted lands; the lofty mountains then shall sing, the forests clap their hands. 14 Where briers grew ‘midst barren wilds, shall firs and myrtles spring; and nature, through its utmost bounds, eternal praises sing. Scripture: Isaiah 55 Used With Tune: FELIX

He that doth in the secret place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He that doth in the secret place of the Most High reside, under the shade of him that is the Almighty shall abide. 2 I of the Lord my God will say, He is my refuge still, he is my fortress and my God, and in him trust I will. 3 Assuredly he shall thee save, and give deliverance both from the fowler’s snare and from the noisome pestilence. 4 His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust under his wings shall be: his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler unto thee. 5 Thou shalt not need to be afraid for terrors of the night; nor for the arrow that doth fly by day, while it is light; 6 nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness secretly; nor for destruction that doth waste at noon-day openly. 7 A thousand at thy side shall fall, on thy right hand shall lie ten thousand dead; yet unto thee it shall not once come nigh. 8 Thou with thine eyes shalt only look, and a beholder be; and thou the merited reward of wicked men shalt see. 9 For thou, O Lord, art constantly my refuge and mine aid; thou hast the Lord who is most high thy habitation made. 10 No plague shall near thy dwelling come; no ill shall thee befall: 11 for thee to keep in all thy ways his angels charge he shall. 12 They in their hands shall bear thee up, still waiting thee upon; lest thou at any time should’st dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Upon the adder thou shalt tread, and on the lion strong; thy feet on dragons trample shall, and on the lions young. 14 Because on me he set his love, deliver him will I; because my great name he hath known, I will him set on high. 15 He’ll call on me, I’ll answer him; I will be with him still in trouble, to deliver him, and honour him I will. 16 And length of days to his desire I will on him bestow; and, in my love, I unto him will my salvation show.
