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

To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Do ye, O congregation Lyrics: 1 Do ye, O congregation, Speak righteousness indeed? In judgment do ye sons of men, With uprightness proceed? 2 Ye you injuroius wickedness In heart will working be: The weight of your hands violence Weigh out i'th' land do ye. 3 The wicked are estranged from The womb, they go astray, And even from the belly they Their falshood do display. 4 Ev'n like a serpent's poison is The poison that they bear; They are like as the adder deaf That stoppeth up her ear. 5 Who will not hearken to the voice, O such as charmers are; Although the charmer in his charms None of his cunning spare. 6 Within their mouth do thou their teeth Break out, O God most strong: Do thou, O Lord, the mighty teeth Break of the lions young. 7 As waters let them melt away, Continually that flee: And when he bends his shafts, let them, As cut asunder be. 8 As melts a snail, let ev'ry one Of them away so run: Like women's timeless birth, that they May never see the sun. 9 Before your pots can feel the thorns So shall he them surprise, As with a whirlwind; both alive And in most wrathful wise. 10 The righteous shall rejoyce when as He doth the vengeance see: He shall his feet wash in the blood Of them that wicked be. 11 So men shall say assuredly, There's for the righteous fruit; Sure there's a God that in the earth Doth judgment execute Scripture: Psalm 58

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: We have a city very strong Lyrics: 1 We have a city very strong, God will appoint salvation, Her walls and bulwarks for to be. 2 Set open ye the gates, that so The righteous nation in may go, That doth observe the verity. 3 In perfect peace keep him thou wilt Whose thoughtful mind on thee is built, Because he doth on thee rely. 4 Trust in the Lord for evermore, For in the Lord Jehovah store Of strength is to eternity. 5 For he brings down who dwell on high, The lofty city low makes lie He lays it low ev'n to the floor, Ev'n to the dust he hath it thrown. 6 The poor man's feet shall tread it down, The feet and steps of needy poor. 7 Uprightness is the just man's way, Thou most upright his path dost weigh. 8 Yea, in thy judgment's way, O Lord. For thee we waited and enquire, To thy name is our soul's desire, And thee in mind still to record. 9 My soul by night desir'd hath thee; Yea, with my spirit, all in me In early seeking thee I yearn: For when on earth thy judgments be, The dwellers in the world shall see, That they thy righteousness may learn. 10 Let to the wicked grace be shown, Yet right'ousness learn will he none. But in the land of uprightness He will both deal unright'ously And he Jehovah's majesty Will not behold, him to confess. 11 Jehovah, when thy hand on high Is lifted up, they will not see: But see, and be asham'd shall they For envy at thy folk likewise, The fire of thy doom'd enemies Shall them devour, ev'n quite away, 12 Lord, peace for us ordain wilt thou, For in us thou hast wrought also Ev'n all our works, our God, O Lord, 13 Other Lords had dominion O'er us besides thee, but alone By thee we will thy name record. 14 They dead are, they shall live no more, They are deceased, they therefore Shall not arise, because thou hast Them visited, and hast them all Destroy'd, and their memorial Thou quite hast made away to waste. 15 Jehovah thou the nation Increased hast: the nation Thou hast increas'd abundantly Therefore thou glorified art, Thou hast remov'd it far apart, Where all the ends of th' earth do he. 16 They visit thee, Lord, in the hour Of trouble, out their pray'r do pour. On them when thy chastisements light. 17 As me that is to travail nigh Is pain'd, and out in pangs doth cry: So have we been, Lord, in thy sight. 18 We have conceiv'd, been paid, forth bro't As wind, and no deliv'rance wrought In earth, nor have the worldlings flew. 19 Thy dead, and mine, shall live and rise, Who dwell in dust, wake, sing likewise, For as the dew of herbs thy dew. Earth shall her dead cast out also. 20 My folk come, to thy chambers go, And shut thy doors about thee fast: Hide thou thy self now as it were But for a little moment there, Until the wrath be overpast. 21 For lo the Lord from's place doth come To execute on them the doom That do upon the earth remain Because of their iniquity: Earth also shall her blood descry, And cover shall no more her slain.

The Song of Hezekiah, after his Recovery from Sickness

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I said, in cutting off my days Lyrics: 10 I Said, in cutting off my days, Go to the gates of graves shall I.

I, weaver like, my life off cut; With pining sickness he me spent. From day, ev'n unto night until Thou quite an end of me wilt make, i3 I count from morning that he will My bones all as a lion break. From day to night thou wilt me waste. 14 Like crane or swallow chatter I, Dove like I mourn, mine eyes up cast Do fail, Lord, help, opprest am I. 15 What shall I say? to me he hath Both spoken and himself done this: I all my life with softly path, Shall walk in my soul's bitterness. 16 Lord by these things men live, and thou By these my spirits life dost give; Thou wilt recover me also, And thou wilt make me for to live. 17 Lo I for peace great grief did find, But freed my soul in love thou hast From pit's corruption: for behind Thy back thou all my sins didst cast. 18 For graves thy praise cannot make known, Nor yet can death thee celebrate! Such as into the pit go down, They for thy truth no more can wait. 19 The living he, the living will Thee praise, as I this day have done: The father to the children still Shall thy great faithfulness make known. 20 Ready to save me was the Lord: Therefore we will my songs of praise Sing in his house with one accord Throughout our life, ev'n all the days. Scripture: Isaiah 33
