The Lord praise, to the Lord give thanks

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The Lord praise, to the Lord give thanks^ Because that good is he: Because his mercy doth endure To perpetuity. 2 Who can the Lord's strong acts forth tell, Or all his praise display? 3 Bless'd they that judgment keep, and who Doth righteousness alway. 4 With favour of thy people, Lord, Do thou remember me: Me visit with thy saving health, That com«s alone from thee, 5 To see thy chosen's good, and in Thy nation's joy rejoice; That I with thine inheritance May lift a glorious voice. 6 As our forefathers did, so we Have sinned wilfully: We practic'd have iniquity, And acted wickedly. [2] 7 Our fathers learn'd not wonders thine In Egypt, did not mind Thy many mercies: but at sea, Red sea, rebell'd unkind. 8 Nevertheless he saved them, Ev'n for his own name's sake, That thereby he, his mighty pow'r Most manifest might make. 9 The red-sea he rebuk'd also, And up the same was dry'd: So them, as through the wilderness, He through the sea did guide, 10 And from his hand that hated them He freely did them save: He from the en'mies hand likewise To them redemption gave. 11 The waters overwhelm'd their foes; Of them was left not one. 12 They did believe his word, they sang His praises thereupon. [3] 13 They, soon forgat his works, nor would They for his counsel stay. 14 But much in wilderness did lust, In desart God try'd they. 15 Then he their fruit them gave, but sent Leanness their soul into. 16 They envy'd Moses in the camp, Aaron God's saint also. 17 The open'd earth Dathan devour'd, And hid Abiram's troop. 18 And fire was kindled in their rout, Flame burnt the wicked up. 19 In Horeb made a molten calf Ador'd the image base: 20 They chang'd their glory to be like An ox that eateth grass. 21 They God forgot their saviour who In Egypt did great acts. 22 Works wonders in the land of Ham, By red-sea dreadful facts. 23 Then said he'd them destroy, but that His chosen Moses then Stood in the breach 'fore him to turn His wrath from wasting them. [4] 24 Yet they, despis'd the pleasant land, Nor did believe his word: 25 But murmur'd in their tents, the voice: They heard not of the Lord. 26 To make them fall in desart then Against them lift his hand: 27 Nations among disperse their seed And fan them in the land. 28 Then to Ba'1-Peer ihey join'd themselves Eat off'ring of the dead. 29 Their works his wrath did thus provoke The plague among them spread. 30 Then Phineas rose and judgment wro't And so the plague did stay. 31 Which justice to him counted was To age and age for aye. [5] 32 At waters of contention They angred him also, So that with Moses for their sake It very ill did go. 33 Because his spirit they provok'd With's lips he spake in haste. 34 The nations, as the Lord them charg'd They wholly did not waste. 35 But were among the heathen mix'd, And learn'd their works to do. 32 And did their idols serve, which them Become a snare unto. 37 Yea unto devils they their sons, And daughters offered. 38 And guiltless blood, blood of their sons And of their daughters shed. Whom unto Cana's idols they Gave up in sacrifice: The land with blood abundantly Polluted was likewife. 39 Thus with the works were they defii'd Which they themselves had done; And they did go a whoring with Inventions of their own. [6] 40 Then kindled was against his folk The anger of the Lord, So that he the inheritance, Which was his own abhorr'd 41 So gave he them to heathen's handm Their haters tjeir lords were. 42 Their foes oppressed them and made Them their hard yoke to bear. 43 Oft he deliver'd them, but they Provok'd him bitterly With their own counsels, and grew low Through their iniquity 44 Yet he regarded their distress When he heard their complaint: 45 And he did to remembrance call For them his covenant. And in his many mercies did 46 Repent. And made them be Pity'd of all who led them forth Into captivity. 47 Save us, O Lord our God, and us, From heathen's gathering raise To give thanks to thy holy name, To triumph in thy praise. 41 The Lord the God of Israel, From aye to aye blest be ; And let all people say Amen, O praise Jehovah ye. Scripture: Psalm 106

Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: The mercies of Jehovah sing Lyrics: 1 The mercies of Jehovah sing For evermore will I: I'll with my mouth thy truth make known To all posterity. 2 For I have said that mercy shall For ever be up-built: Establish in the very heav'ns, Thy faithfulness thou wilt. 3 With him that is my chosen one A cov'nant made I have And to my servant David I By oath this promise gave. 4 To perpertuity thy seed Establish sure I will; Likewise to generations all Thy throne I'll build up still. Selah. 5 Also the heavens thy wonders, Lord, They shall thy praise confess: Within th' assembly of the same Likewise thy faithfulness. 6 For to the Lord the heav'ns within Who is't we can compare? Who's like the Lord among the sons Of them that mighty are. [2] 7 God greatly in the church of saints Is to be had in fear; And to be reverenc'd of all those That round about him are. 8 Jehovah, O thou God of hosts, Strong JAH, who's like to thee? Thy faithfulness on ev'ry side, Doth round encompass thee. 9 Over the raging of the sea Thou dost dominion bear; When as the waves thereof arise By thee they stilled are. 10 Like to one slain thou broken hast In pieces Rahab quite: Thou hast disperst thine enemies, Ev'n by thine arm of might. 11 To thee the heavens do belong, The earth likewise to thee. The world with fulness of the same: By thee they founded be. 12 The north together with the south. Thou didst create the same: Tabor likewise and Hermon's hill Rejoyce shall in thy name. [3] 13 Thou hast a very mighty arm, Thy hand in strength is great; And also that right hand of thine Aloft on high is set. 14 The habitation of thy throne, Justice and judgment are, Their way before thy face to go Both grace and truth prepare. 15 O blessed are the people who The joyful sound do know; Lord in thy countenances light They up and down shall go. 16 They all the day shall in thy name Rejoyce exceedingly; And in thy righteousness shall they Be lifted up on high. 17 Because that thou art of their strength The glorious dignity: Our horn it shall exalted be In thy benignity. 18 Because Jehovah is to us A safe protection; And he that is our sovereign Is Isr'ls holy One. [4] 19 Then didst thou speak in vision Unto thy saints, and said, On such an one as mighty is I have salvation laid. 20 One chosen from the folk I rais'd, My servant David I Have found, him I anointed with My oyl of sanctity. 21 With whom my hand shall 'stablish'd be Mine arm him strengthen shall 22 Also the enemy shall not Exact on him at all: Nor shall the sons of wickedness Afflict him any more. 23 Before him I'll beat down his foes And plague his haters sore. 24 My mercy yet and verity With him shall be the same: His horn likewise shall be on high Exalted in my name. 25 Moreover I within the sea Will cause his hand to stand; Likewise within the rivers I Will settle his right hand. 26 To me my father, thou my god, And health's rock, he shall cry. 27 And I will make him my first-born, Then earthly kings more high. 28 My mercy I will keep for him To times which eve last: With him also my covenant Shall be establish'd fast. [5] 29 Moreover I his seed will make for to endure always; And I his throne establish will Like as of heav'n the days. 30 If that his sons forsake my law, And from my judgments swerve: 31 If they my statutes break, and do My precepts not observe. 32 Their bold transgressions with the rod Then visit sore will I; Likewise with stripes I visit will Their cross iniquity. 33 My loving kindness yet from him Away take will not I: Nor suffer will in any wise My faithfulness to lye. 34 The cov'nant I have made with him Shall not by me be broke: That which is gone out of my lips I never will revoke. 35 Once sware I by my holiness, If I to David lie. 36 His seed assuredly shall last To perpetuity. And like the sun 'for me his throne 37 It like the moon shall slay: And as in heav'n a witness true Shall stablish'd be for aye. [6] 38 But thou hast cast off and abhorr'd Wroth with thine ointed one 39 Thou art. Thy servants covenant Thou hast made it as none: By casting down unto the ground Thou hast prophan'd his crown. 40 His forts to ruin thou hast brought, His hedges all broke down. 41 All spoil him by the way that pass, His neighbour's scorn he's made. 42 His foes right hand thou hat extoll'd, Thou mad'st his en'mies glad. 43 Thou of his sword the edge hast turn'd Nor mad'st him stand in sight. 44 Thou hast his crown cast to the ground, And fails his glory bright. 45 Yea of his youthful years the days Thou hast diminished; All over with confusion too Thou hast him covered. 46 How long, Jehovah, wilt thou hide thy self for evermore? Like as a burning fire abide Shall thy displeasure sore? 47 To thy remembrance do thou call, How short a time have I: Wherefore hast thou created all Men's sons to vanity? 48 What man alive in strength so great That death he shall not see? That from the hand of grave shall set His soul at liberty. Selah. 49 Thy former loving kindnesses, O Lord, where are they now? Which in thy truth and faithfulness To David thou didst vow? 50 O Lord do thou thy servant's scorn Unto remembrance call; How in my breast I have it born From mighty people all. 51 Wherewith, O Lord, thine enemies Me cast reproach upon, Wherewith they do reproach the steps Of thine anointed one. 52 O let Jehovah blessed be to generations all: Amen, so let it be also Amen, be so it shall. Scripture: Psalm 89

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The mighty God, Jehovah spake Lyrics: 1 The mighty God, Jehovah spake, And he the earth doth call Ev'n from the rising of the sun, Thereof unto the fall. 2 The mighty God hath clearly shin'd From out of Sion hill. Which of all beauty excellent Doth the perfection fill. 3 Our God shall come and not be still, Fire wasteth in his sight: And round about him shall be rais'd A storm of wondrous might. 4 To judge his people, he from high Calls heav'n and earth likewise. 5 Bring me my saints that cov'nant make With me by sacrifice. 6 And th' heavens shall his righteousness Apparently make known: Because the mighty God himself Is righteous judge alone. 7 Hear O my people, and I'll speak, yea, I will testifie: Also to thee, O Israel, God, ev'n thy God am I. 8 As for sacrifices I Will hind no fault with thee: Or thy burnt off'rings to have been Continually with me: I'll take no bullocks nor he-goats From hose or rolds of thine 10 For forrest-beasts, and cattel all On thousand hills are mine. 11 The fowls that on the mountains fly, All of them do I know: And wild beasts in the field that lye, They are wit me also. 12 If I were hungry, I would not It unto thee declare; For mine the habitable world And fulness of it are. 13 Of bullocks eat the flesh or drink The blood of goats will I? 14 Thanks offer unto God and pay Thy vows to him most high. 15 And in the day of sore distress Do thou unto me cry; And I'll deliver thee, and then Thou shalt me glorifie. [2] But to the wicked God doth say, Why dost thou mention make Of statutes mine? why in thy mouth Should'st thou my cov'nant take? 17 Whereas thou dost instruction hate And my words from thee cast. 18 When thou didst see a thief, with him Then thou consented hast. And likewise with adulterers Thy part hath been the same. 19 Thy mouth to evel thou dost give, And guile thy tongue doth frame. 20 Thou sittest down and so against Thy brother dost declame: The son of thine own mother thou With slander dost defame. 21 These things thou didst, I silent was Thou thought'st of me likewise, One like thy self, I'll thee reprove, And rank them in thine eyes. 22 Now therefore this consider ye That God forgotten have; Lest that in pieces I you tear, And there be none to save. 23 Whoso doth praises sacrifice, He glorifieth me: Who orders right his way likewise Shall God's salvation see.

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The trespass of the wicked one Lyrics: 1 The trespass of the wicked one Saith in assured wise, Within my heart, the fear of God Is not before his eyes. 2 Because that he in his own eyes Himself is flattering. Until that his iniquity Be found an hateful thing. 3 The words are vanity and guile Which from his mouth proceed, He hath left off for to be wise, And do the godly deed 4 He when he lieth on his bed, Doth mischief meditate: He sets himself in no good way, He doth not evil hate. [2] 5 Thy mercy O Jehovah is Within the heavens high; Thy faithfulness doth reach likewise Unto the cloudy sky. 6 Like mountains great thy righteousness; Thy judgments like unto The mighty deep: thou sav'st, O Lord, Both man and beast also. 7 O God, thy loving kindness is Of wondrous excellence: Therefore in shadow of thy wings Men's sons put confidence. 8 They of the fatness of thy house Unto the full shall take; And of the stream of thy delights To drink thou shalt them make. 9 For with thee is the spring of life, Light in thy light we see: O stretch thy loving kindness to Such as acknowledge thee. 10 To them that upright are in heart, Stretch out thy gracious love. 11 Let no proud foot against me come, Nor wicked hand me move. 12 There are they fallen all of them That work iniquities: They are cast down and never shall Be able to arise.

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The waters in unto my soul Lyrics: 1 The waters in unto my soul Are come,O God me save. 2 I am in muddy deep sunk down Where I no standing have; Into deep water am come, Where floods me overflow. 3 I of my crying weary am, My throat is dried so: Mine eyes fail for my God I wait. 4 They that have hated me Without a cause, than mine head's hairs They more in number be. Also mine en'mies wrongfully They are that would me slay, They mighty are; then I restor'd What I took not away. 5 O God, thou know'st my foolishness, My sin's not hid from thee. Who wait on thee, Lord God of host, Let not be sham'd for me. O never suffer them who do For thee inquiry make, O God of Israel, to be Confounded for my sake. [2] 7 By reason that I for thy sake Reproach have suffered, Confusion my countenance Hath over covered. 8 I as a stranger am become My brethren ev'n unto, Unto my mother's children I An alien am also. 9 For of thy house the fervent zeal Hath quite up eaten me: And on me their reproaches fell That have reproached thee. 10 In fast I wept, and spent my soul; This was reproach to me. 11 And I my garments sackcloth made, Yet must their proverb be. 12 They that do sit within the gate, Against me speak they do: Unto the drinkers of strong drink I was a song also. 13 But I in an accepted time To thee Lord make my pray'r: O God, me in thy saving truth, And in much mercy hear. [3] 14 Deliver me out of the mire, And me from sinking keep: Let me be free'd mine haters from, And out of waters deep. 15 O'erflow me let not water floods, Nor me let swallow up The deep, and let not thou the pit Her mouth upon me shut. 16 Jehovah, hear thou me, for good Is thy benignity: After thy mercies multitude O turn thy face to me. 17 And from thy servant hide not thou Thy countenance away, Because that I in trouble am, Hear me without delay. 18 O draw thou nigh unto my soul, Redeem thou it likewise: Deliver me because of them That are mine enemies. 19 Thou my reproach hast known, also My shame, and my disgrace; Mine adversaries ev'ry one, They are before thy face. [4] 20 Reproach mine heart hath broke, I griev'd: I sough some me to moan, But none there was: and sought for some To comfort, but found none. 21 Instead moreover of my meat They gave unto me gall; They gave me vinegar to drink To quench my thirst withal. 22 Their table let before their face To them become a snare; And let it be a trap which should Have been for their welfare; 23 Their eyes let darkned be likewise, That they may never see; With trembling also make their loins, To shake continually. 24 Pour out thine ire on them, let seize On them thine anger fell. 24 Their palace let be desolate, None in their tents let dwell. 26 Because they do him persecute On whom thy stroke is found: Also they talk unto the grief Of them whom thou dost wound. 27 Do thou to their iniquity Iniquity more add: Into thy righteousness for them Let entrance none be had. 28 Out of the book of living ones O do thou them forth blot: And them amongst that righteous are Be written let them not. [5] 29 But I, O God, am poor and sad; Let thy health lift me high. 30 With song I'll praise the name of God, With thanks him magnify. 31 Unto Jehovah this also Shall be more pleasing far, Than any ox or bullock young That horn'd and hoofed are. 32 This thing when as they shall behold, Then shall be glad the meek: Also your heart shall ever live, That after God do seek 33 Because the Lord the poor doth hear, Nor's pris'ners doth despise: 34 Let heav'n, and earth, seas him praise, and all That move therein likewise. 35 For God will Judah's cities build, And Sion he will save' That they may dwell therein, and may In in possession have. 36 And of his servants then the seed Inherit shall the same: Also therein inhabit shall They that do love his name.

A Prayer of Moses, the Man of God

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Thou Lord our stay hast been Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord our stay hast been, an house Of habitation; From generation unto us, To generation. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth Or ever by thy word, Thou didst create the world and earth From aye to aye art God. 3 Thou dost by bruising to decay Turn miserable men; Ye sons of men, then dost thou say, Return ye back again. 4 For while a thousand years do last, It is but in thy sight As yesterday when it is past, And as a watch by night. 5 Thou dost them bear away like as A flood that overflows: Like sheep they are, and as the grass, Which in the morning grows. 6 Which in the morn is flourishing, And springing up doth rise; Which is cut down at evening, It withers up likewise. 7 Because by reason of thine ire We wasted are away; And by thine anger's burning fire We speedily decay. 8 Thou hast set our iniquities Before thee in thy sight; Our secret evils are likewise Before thy face's light. 9 Because in thy displeasure all Our days away are roll'd; We spend away our years withal Like as a tale that's told. 10 For threescore years and ten the days Of our few years contain: Or if through strength to fourscore rise, Their strength is grief and pain. For soon it's gone, and hence we pass, 11 O who is he doth know Thine anger's strength? according as Thy fear, thy wrath is so 12 O give thou us instruction To number so our days; That we our hearts may thereupon Turn into wisdom's ways. 13 Jehovah turn thy self again, How long yet shall it be? And let it thee repent for them That servants are to thee. 14 O satisfy us freely with Thy free benignity; That so through all our days we may Joy and make melody. 15 According to the days wherein Affliction we have had; And years wherein ill we have seen, Now also make us glad. 16 Unto thy servants, O do thou Thy handy-work declare. And shew thy comely glory to Those that their children are. 17 The beauty of Jehovah thus Our God let on us be: Confirm'd our handy-work on us, Confirm'd be it by thee. Scripture: Psalm 90

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Thou that leadest Joseph Lyrics: 1 Thou that lead'st Joseph as a flock, O Israel's shepherd hear, Who dwell'st between the cherubims, O shine thou forth most clear. 2 Ephraim before, and Benjamin, Manasseh's tribe also. O stir thou up thy strength and come, For us salvation show. 3 O God return thou us again, And cause thy countenance To shine forth upon us, that we May have deliverance. 4 Lord God of hosts, how long wilt smoke Against thy people's pray'rs? 5 Thou makest them to feed upon The bread of mournful tears. And giv'st them many tears to drink. 6 Our neighbours strife likewise Thou mak'st us, and among themselves Do laugh our enemies 7 O God of hosts turn us again, And cause thy countenance To shine forth upon us, so we Shall have deliverance. [2] 8 From Egypt thou hast brought a vine, Forth also thou didst cast The heathen people, in their room The same thou planted hast. 9 Yea, thou before it didst prepare A room where it may stand, Thou didst it cause deep root to take, And it did fill the land. 10 Her shade spread hills, her boughs also, Like goodly cedars stood. 11 She sent her boughs into the sea, Her branches to the flood. 12 O why then hast thou broken down Her hedges utterly, So that all those do pluck at her Who in the way pass by? 13 The boar out of the wilderness Doth wasting it annoy. And wild beasts of the field the same Devouringly destroy. 14 We do beseech thee to return, O God of hosts incline To look from heaven, and behold, And visit thou this vine, 15 The vineyard which thou hast also With thy right hand set fast; That branch likewise which for thy self Confirm'd thou strongly hast. 16 It is consumed with the fire, And utterly cut down; They perish do, and that because Thy countenance doth frown. 17 Upon the man of thy right hand Thine hand let present be, Upon the son of man whom thou Hast made so strong for thee. 18 So from henceforth we never will From thee go back at all: O do thou quicken us and we Upon thy name will call. 19 Lord God of hosts turn us again, And cause thy countenance To shine forth upon us, so we Shall have deliverance. Scripture: Psalm 80
