To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Truly my waiting soul relies Lyrics: 1 Truly my waiting soul relies In silence God upon: Because from him there doth arise All my salvation. 2 He only is my rock, and he Salvation is to me; And he is my defence that I Mov'd greatly shall not be. 3 How long against a man will ye Plot mischief? you shall fall; And as a tottering fence you be, And like a bowing wall. 4 His excellence yet to suppress They counsel do impart, They lies do love, with mouth they bless, But curse within their heart. Selah. 5 My soul wait thou on God, and let My hopes on him abide, 6 My rock and safety he alone, My tow'r, I shall not slide. 7 On God doth my salvation And glory make abode. The rock of my munition, My refuge is in God. 8 Ye people upon him, O see You put our trust alway: Pour out your hearts before him ye; God is your hopeful stay. 9 Sure base men's sons are vanity, And high men's sons a lie; When joyntly they in balance lie; More light than vanity. 10 In robb'ry be not vain, nor yet Trust in oppression; If wealth increase, yet do not set Your hearts delight thereon. 11 Once spoken hath the God of might This word once and again I plainly heard, that powerful might Doth unto God pertain. 12 Also to thee benignity O Lord doth appertain: For even as his work shall be Thou rendrest man again. Scripture: Psalm 62

A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath Day

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Unto Jehovah thanks to give Lyrics: 1 Unto Jehovah thanks to give, It is a comely thing: And praises forth,O thou most high, Unto thy name to sing. 2 Thy loving-kindness forth to show In early morning light: Thy truth and faithfulness also To shew forth ev'ry night. 3 Upon a ten string'd instrument, The psaltery upon, Upon the solemn sounding harp, With meditation. 4 For thou, Jehovah, through thy work Hast made me to rejoice: And in thy handy-work will I Triumph with joyful voice. 5 How great Jehovah are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep. 6 The brutish knows not, nor the fool This in his heart doth keep. 7 When as the wicked like to grass, Do springing up arise: When they are in a flour'shing case Who work iniquities. 8 It is that they may be destroy'd, To perpetuity: But thou Jehovah dost abide, For evermore most high. 9 For lo, O Lord, thine enemies And foes shall surely fall: The workers of iniquities They shall be scatter'd all. [2] 10 By thee mine horn shall be extoll'd As unicorn's on high: And with fresh oyl, when I am old, Anointed be shall I: 11 Upon mine enemies mine eyes Their wish shall see, mine ear Of wicked who against me rise My just desire shall hear. 12 He flourish shall that righteous is, The palm-tree like unto; He shall be like the cedar trees In Lebanon that grow. 13 They that within Jehovah's house Are planted stedfastly, They in the court-yards of our God Shall flourish pleasantly. 14 Their fruit they shall when they are grey Continue forth to bring; They shall be fat, yea likewise they Shall still be flourishing 15 To shew Jehovah upright is, He is a rock to me; And that he from unrighteousness Is altogether free. Scripture: Psalm 92

David's mournful Elegy

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Upon the places high is slain Lyrics: 19 Upon the places high is slain The flow'r of Israel. How are the mighty fallen down: 20 In Gath this never tell: Nor shew't in streets of Askelon, Lest Philistines rejoyce, Lest daughters of th' uncircumcis'd Should make triumphant noise. 21 Ye mountains high of Gilboah Left there be never dew. Nor rain, nor fields of offerings Let ever be on you. For there the mighty one his shield Receiv'd disgraceful foil: The shield of Saul, as he had not Anointed been with oyl. 22 The bow of Jon'than did not turn Back from the blood of slain, From fat of mighty, and Saul's sword Did not return in vain. 23 Most lovely Saul and Jonathan, And pleasant did abide Whilst they did live and in their death Them nothing did divide They swifter than the eagles were, The lions did excell 24 In strength. O weep ye over Saul, Daughters of Israel. Who did in scarlet you array, With deckings manifold, Who did on your apparel lay The ornaments of gold. 25 In midst of the fierce battle how, The mighty fallen lie. O Jonathan cut off wast thou, Upon thy places high! 26 O thou my brother Jonathan, I am diftress'd for theem A loving dear companion Thou hast been unto me. Thy love to me in wonder past The love of women far: 27 How are the mighty fallen, and waste The weapons are of war! Scripture: 2 Samuel 1:17

To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: We give thanks unto Thee, O God Lyrics: 1 We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, and thy name As being near at hand, Thy wonders to proclaim. 2 When I receive th' assembly shall, Judge uprightly I will 3 The earth melts and its dwellers all: I stay its pillars still. Selah. 4 I said unto the foolish ones Deal not so foolishly: Also unto the wicked ones, Lift not the horn on high; 5 Lift ye not up your horn on high; With stifned neck speak not: 6 For from east, west, or wilderness, Promotion is not got. 7 But God is judge: one he sets up, Another down doth tread. 8 For in the Lord's hand is a cup, The wine also is red: Of mixture full, he pours there out; But yet the wicked all That are on earth, the dregs thereof Wring out, and drink them shall. 9 But as concerning me, always I will declare abroad: And I will sing a psalm of praise To him that's Jacob's God. 10 Of men ungodly all the horns Also cut off will I; But of the righteous ones the horns Shall be exalted high. Scripture: Psalm 75

To the chief Musician, for the sons of Korah, Maschil.

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: We with our ears have heard, O God Lyrics: 1 We with our ears have heard, O God, Our fathers have us told, What works thou wroughtest in their days, Ev'n in the times of old 2 How thy hand drave the heathen out, And planted them thou hast; How thou the people didst afflict, And out thy didst them cast. 3 For by their sword they did not get The land's possession. Nor was it their own arm that did Work their salvation; But thy right hand, thine arm also, Thy countenances light; Because that of thine own good will Thou didst in them delight. 4 Thou art my king, O mighty God, Thou dost the same endure; For Jacob by commandement Deliverance procure. 5 Thro' thee as with an horn we will Push down our enemies: We thro' thy name will tread them down That up against me rise. 6 Because it is not in my bow That I affiance have: Nor is it any sword of mine, That shall at all me save. 7 But thou hast from our foes us sav'd, And haters put to shame: 8 In God we all the day do boast, And praise for aye thy name. 9 But now thou hast forsaken us, And shame upon us cast: Nor with our military troops Gone forth to battel hast. 10 Back from before the enemy, Thou mak'st us to recoyl: They also that our haters be. Do from themselves us spoil. 11 Thou hast us given like as sheep, To slaughter that belong: Thou hast us also scattered The heathen folk among. 12 Thou dost thy people set to sale For that which is no gain: And by their prices no increase Of riches dost obtain. 13 Unto our neighbours a reproach Thou doest us expose: A scorn we are and mocking stock To them that us enclose. 14 Among the heathen people thou A by-word dost us make, Also among the nations, At us their head they shake. 15 Before mine eyes continually Abideth my disgrace: And likewise with comfounded shame O'er-covered is my face. 16 By reason of the enemy And self-revenging wight. 17 Though all of this be come on us, We have not thee forgot: Likewise against thy covenant Dealt falsly have we not. 18 Our hearts not turned back, nor have Our steps from thy way stray'd. 19 Tho' us thou break'st in dragon's place And hid'st us in death's shade. 20 Had we forgot God's name, or to A strange God stretch'd our hands: 21 Shall not God search it out? for he Hearts secrets understands. 22 Yea, we for thee are all day kill'd, Counted as sheep to slay: 23 Awake, why sleep'st thou, Lord, arise, Cast us not off for aye. 24 Thy countenance away from us O wherefore dost thou hide? Why dost thou mindless of our grief, And sore distress abide? 25 For down to dust our soul is bow'd; To th' earth our bellies cleave 26 O thou that art our help, arise, In mercy us relieve. Scripture: Psalm 44

Why rage the heathen furiously

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Why rage the heathen furiously, Vain things the people muse? 2 Kings of the earth do set themselves, And princes plotting use. With one consent against the Lord, Against his Christ also, 3 Let us asunder break their bands, And their cords from us throw. 4 He that in heaven sits shall laugh, The Lord deride them shall. 5 Then to them in his ire he'll speak, In's wrath sore vex them all. 6 But I anoint my king upon Zion my holy hill. 7 The counsel that establish'd is Declare abroad I will. 8 The Lord said, Thou'rt my Son, this day I thee begotten have; Ask thou of me, and for my lot The heathen I will give; And of the earth thou shalt possess The utmost coast abroad. 9 Thou shalt them break as potters sherd, And crust with iron rod, 10 And now ye kings be wise, be learn'd Earth's judges ye that are. 11 Serve ye the Lord with reverence, Rejoyce with trembling fear. 12 Kiss ye the son lest he be wroth, And ye fall in the way, When his wrath but a little burns, Bless'd all that on him stay.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: With expectation for the Lord Lyrics: 1 With expectation for the Lord, I waited patiently; And he inclined unto me, He also heard my cry. 2 He brought me from the dreadful pit, Out of the miry clay; And on a rock he set my feet, He stablished my way. 3 A new song put he in my mouth, Our God's praise to record; Which many shall behold and fear, And trust upon the Lord. 4 Blest is the Man that on the Lord doth make his trust abide: Nor doth the proud respect, nor such To lies as turn aside. [2] 5 O thou Jehovah, thou my God, Hast many wonders wrought; And likewise towards us thou hast Conceiv'd many a thought. their sum cannot be reckon'd up In order unto thee; would I declare and speak of them, Beyond account they be. 6 Thou sacrifice and offering Didst not at all desire, Thou boar'st mine ear, no sin off'ring, Nor burnt one dost require. 7 Then said I, lo I come: it's writ I' th' books roll thus of me, 8 To do thy will my god I joy, Thy laws in my heart be. 9 Within the congregation great, Thy righteousness I shew; Lo I have not refrain'd my lips, Jehovah thou dost know. 10 I have not hid thy righteousness Within my heart alone; I have declar'd thy faithfulness, And thy salvation I have not from th' assembly great Thy grace and truth conceal'd. 11 Let not thy tender mercies be From me O Lord with-held: Let both thy kindness and thy truth keep me my life throughout, 12 Because innumerable ills Have compass'd me about. My sins have caught me, so that I Not able am to see; More are they than hairs of mine head, Therefore my heart fails me. [3] 13 Be pleas'd, Lord, to deliver me; To help me, Lord, make haste. 14 At once abash'd and sham'd let be, Who seek my soul to waste 15 Let them be driven back and sham'd That wish me misery: Let them be waste to quit their shame, That say to me, fy, fy. 16 Let all be glad and joy in thee That seek thee, let them say, Who thy salvation love, the Lord Be magify'd alway. 17 I poor and needy am, on me The Lord yet care doth take: My help and my deliverer thou, My God no tarrying make.

God's goodness to Travellers

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: With thanks unto the Lord confess Lyrics: 1 With thanks unto the Lord confess, Because that good is he; Because his loving kindnesses Lasts to eternity. 2 So say the Lord's redeem'd whom bought He hath from enemies hands; 3 And from the east and west hath brought From south and northern lands. 4 In desart stray'd, in desart way No dwelling town they find. 5 They hungry were, and thirsty they, Their souls within them pin'd. 6 Then did they to Jehovah cry When they were in distress; Who did them set at liberty Out of their anguishes. 7 In such a way as was most right, He led them forth also; That to a ciiy where they might Inhabit they might go. 8 O that men praise Jehovah would For his great goodness then; And for his wonders manifold Unto the sons of men. 9 For he the soul that longing lies, Doth th'roughly satisfy; The hungry soul he fills likewise With good abundantly. [2] 10 Such as in darkness and within The shade of death abide: They who are sore afflictions in, And fast in irons ty'd. 11 Because they in rebellion, Against God's word did rise: They also of the highest One The counsel did despise. 12 Therefore with sore affliction He did bring down their heart: Down did they fall, and there was none Could help to them impart. 13 Then did they to Jehovah cry, When they were in distress? Who did them set at liberty Out of their anguishes. 14 He did them out of darkness bring, Also from shade of death: As for the bands that they were in, He them quite broken hath. 15 O that men praise Jehovah would For his great goodness then: And for his wonders manifold Unto the sons of men! 16 For he did into shivers shake The gates that were of brass: And he the bar asunder brake That made of iron was. [3] To the Sick 17 Fools do for their iniquities And sins, affliction bear. 18 Their soul abhors all meat likewise They to death's gate draw near. 19 Then they unto Jehovah cry, When they are in distress; Who setteth them at liberty, Out of their anguishes. 29 He did send out his word, and he Unto them healing gave: From out of their destruction free He likewise did them save. 21 Oh that men praise Jehovah would For his great goodness then: And for his wonders manifold Unto the sons of men! 22 And of thanksgiving sacrifice Let them their offerings bring: While they his works declare likewise Let them for gladness sing. [4] To the Seafaring. 23 Who go to sea in ships, their acts In waters great who do: 24 These do behold Jehovah's facts, In deeps his wonders too. 25 For he commanded instantly The stormy wind doth rise Which lifts the waves thereof on high, They mount up to the skies. 26 Down to the depths again they strike, Their soul doth melt with ill. 27 They reel and stagger drunkard like, And fail them doth their skill. 28 Then do they to Jehovah cry, In their extream distress: And he them bringeth speedily Out of their anguishes. 29 He makes the storm a calm, that so The waves thereof are quiet; 30 They're glad with rest, he brings them to The haven they desir'd. 31 Oh that men praise Jehovah would For his great goodness then, And for his wonders manifold Unto the sons of men. 32 Within the congregation great Him let them highly praise: [5] To Planters 33 He turns streams to a desart land: To drought the springing well. 34 To barrenness a fruitful land For their sins there who dwell. 35 He makes the wilderness a pool Dry ground turns to a spring. 36 Seats there the hungry where they build Their town of habiting. 37 They vineyards there do plant and dress They likewise sow their fields: Which unto them their fruitfulness With much revenue yields. 38 Yea so he blessed them that they Did greatly multiply Nor yet their cattle suffer'd he To lessen or decay. 39 Again they are diminished, And also bowed down; By tyranny impov'rished, And by affliction. 40 On princes pour contempt doth he, And causeth them to stray: Where solitary desarts be, Wherein there is no way. 41 But from affliction he on high The needy makes to rise; And like a flock doth multiply And make him families, 42 The righteous ones behold it shall And they shall joyful be; And bridle up their mouth shall all That work iniquity. 43 Whoso is wise and will with care These things observing learn: Jehovah's mercies what they are, They clearly shall discern. Scripture: Psalm 107

Ye just in God rejoice

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Ye just in God rejoyce, Praise well th' upright doth suit. 2 Praise God with harp, with psalt'ry sing To him on ten string'd lute. 3 A new song sing to him, aloud play skilfully: 4 Because Jehovah's word is right, His works all verity. 5 He loveth righteousness, And also equity, The earth is fully furnish'd with The Lord's benignity. 6 For by jehovah's word The heavens had their frame; And by th' spirit of his mouth, All th' armies of the same. 7 The waters of the sea He gathers as a heap: Together as in store-houses He layeth up the deep. 8 All men throughout the earth, Let them Jehovah fear; Let all the dwellers of the world Unto him rev'rence bear. 9 Because he did but speak The word, and it was made; He did give out commandement, And it was firmly staid. 10 The Lord doth bring to night The heathen counsel wise; He makes to be of none effect What people do devise. 11 The counsel of the Lord Abide for ever shall: The cogitations of his heart To generations all. [2] 12 O blessed nation, Whose God Jehovah is; And people whom for heritage He chosen hat for his. 13 The Lord from heaven looks, All sons of men views well 14 Look from his dwelling place doth he To all on earth that dwell. 15 The hearts of every one Alike he doth them frame, And all their operations He well doth mind the same. 16 By multitude of hosts No king himself doth save, Nor yet by multitude of strength They strong deliverance have. 17 A horse a vain thing is to be a saviour; Nor shall he work deliverance By greatness of his pow'r. 18 On them that do him fear, Lo is Jehovah's eye, Upon them that do place their hope On his benignity. 19 To save alive in death, Their soul from death to free. 20 Our soul doth for Jehovah wait; Our help and shield is he. 21 For our heart joys in him, In's holy name trust we: Thy mercy Lord, let be on us Like as we trust in thee. Scripture: Psalm 33

Why stand'st thou Lord far off? why hid'st

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Why stand'st thou Lord far off? why hid'st Thy self in times of strait. 2 In pride the wicked persecutes The poor afflicted weight: Caught be they in their plots forecast. 3 For of his hearts desire The wicked boasts: and bless he doth The churl, that stirs God's ire. 4 The wicked one according to His countenances pride Will not inquire: that there's no God So all his thoughts abide. 5 His ways do always bring forth grief, On high thy judgments be Above his sight: his pressing foes Puff at them all will he. 6 Within his heart he thus hath said, I shall not moved be, From age to age that am not yet In ill adversity 7 His mouth with cursing filled is, Deceits and fallacy, Under his tongue perverseness is, Also iniquity. 8 In lurking places of the towns He sits; in secret dens He slays the harmless, 'gains the poor His eyes down shily bends. 9 He closely lurks as lion lurks In den the poor to catch: He lurks and trapping them in's net Th' afflicted poor doth snatch. 10 Down doth he crouch, and to the dust He humbly bows withal, That so a multitude of poor In his strong paws may fall 11 He saith in's heart, God hat forgot, He hides his face away, So that he will not see this thing, Unto eternal aye. [2] 12 Jehovah rise thou up, O God Lift up thine hand on high, Cast not the meek afflicted one Out of thy memory. 13 O wherefore doth the wicked man Contemn th' almighty one? He in his heart saith, thou wilt not Make inquisition. 14 Thou see'st, for thou mark'st wrong and spight With thy hand to repay. The poor leaves it to thee: thou art Of fatherless the stay. 15 The wicked's arm in pieces break, And of the evil one Search thou out his impiety, Until thou findest none. 16 Jehovah king for ever is: And to eternal aye Out of his land the heathen folk Are perished away. 17 The meek afflicted man's desire Jehovah thou dost hear: Thou firmly dost prepare their heart, Thou mak'st attent thine ear. 18 To judge the fatherless and poor; That add no more he may The man of sorrows from the land With terror to dismay. Scripture: Psalm 10
