A Song of Degrees of David

Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Had not the Lord been on our side Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord been on our side May Isra'l now proclaim. 2 Had not the Lord been on our side When men against us came, 3 They then had swallowed us alive, When their wrath on us burn'd. 4 Then had the waters us o'envhelm'd, The stream our soul o'ertum'd. 5 The waters proud then o'er our soul Had passed on their way. 6 Blest be the Lord who to their teeth Did not give us a prey. 7 Our soul is as a bird escap'd Out of the fowler's snare; The snare asunder broken is, And we escaped are. 8 The succour which we do enjoy, Is in Jehovah's name: Who is the maker of the earth, And of the heavens frame. Scripture: Psalm 124

Have mercy upon me, O God

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Have mercy upon me, O God According to thy grace: According to thy mercies great, My trespasses deface. 2 O wash me throughly from my guilt, And from my sin me clear. 3 For I my trespass know, my sins Before me still appear. 4 'Gainst thee, thee only have I sinn'd, This ill done thee before: When thou speak'st, just thou art, and clear When thou dost judge therefore, 5 Behold, how in iniquity I did my shape receive: Also my mother that me bar In sin did me conceive. 6 Behold thou dost desire the truth Within the inward part: And thou shalt make me wisdom know In secret of mine heart 7 With hyssop do me purify, I shall be cleansed so: O wash thou me, and then shall I Be whiter than the snow. 8 Of joy and gladness make thou me To hear again the voice: That so the bones which thou hast broke, May chearfully rejoyce. 9 From the beholding of my sin Hide thou away thy face; Likewise all mine iniquities O do thou clean deface. [2] 10 Clean heart, O God in me create. Also a spirit right 11 In me renew. O cast me not Away out of thy sight: Nor from me take thy holy sp'rit. 12 Restore the joy to me Of thy salvation, and uphold Me with thy spirit free. 13 Then will I teach thy ways to those That work iniquity, And by this means shall sinners be Converted unto thee. 14 O God, God of my heath, set me Free from blood-guiltiness; And so my tongue shall joyfully Sing of thy righteousness. 15 Lord, open thou my lips, and forth My mouth thy praise shall show, 16 For thou desir'st not sacrifice, I would it else bestow; Burnt off'rings thou delight'st not in: Of God the sacrifice A broken sp'rit: a contrite heart God,thou wilt not despise. 18 In thy good pleasure O do good Unto thy Sion hill: The walls of thy Jerusalem, O do thou build up still. 19 The sacrifice of justice shall Pleas thee with burnt off'ring, And whole burnt off'ring: then they shall Calves to thine altar bring. Scripture: Psalm 51

He that within the secrecy

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 He that within the secrecy Of the highest doth reside, In shadow of th' Almighty he Shall lodging safe abide. 2 He is my hope and fortress high, I of the Lord will say: He is my God, and in him I My confidence will stay. 3 The fowler's snare surely from thence He shall deliver thee; And from th' infections pestilence He also shall thee free. 4 He with his feathers shall thee hide; Thy trust in 's wings shall be: His truth shall as a shield abide, And buckler unto thee. 5 With fear thou shalt not be dismay'd, For terror by the night: Nor of the arrow be afraid, That hath by day his flight. 6 Nor for the plagues infection, That walks in darkness fast. Nor for the sure destruction that doth at noon-day waste. 7 A thousand at thy side shall fall, Yea, and ten thousand here At thy right hand; but yet it shall Not unto thee come near. 8 This thing thou only with thine eyes Shall heedfully regard; Thou shalt behold how that likewise The wicked have reward. 9 For (thou hast said0 Jehovah thou Art my protection: The highest one thou mak'st also Thine habitation, 10 Not any evil casually Shall unto thee befall: Nor yet shall any plague come nigh Thy dwelling-place at all. 11 Because he his strong angels will command concerning thee; That they may keep thee from all ill Which in thy way may be. 12 The hollow of their hands upon Thee safe they shall up-bare, Lest thou thy foot against a stone Should dash at unaware. 13 Thou shalt upon the lion strong And on the adder go: The dragon and the lion young Thou trample shalt also. 14 For he hath set his love on me, Him therefore free will I; Because that known my name hath he, I will him set on high. 15 He shall in pray'r call on me, And I will answer him: I will with him in trouble be, I'll freely him redeem, And I will honour him also. 16 Him I will satisfy With length of days, and to him shew My saving health will I. Scripture: Psalm 91

To the chief Musician. A Psalm for the Sons of Korah

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Hear this all people, and give ear Lyrics: 1 Hear this all people, and give ear, all in the world that dwell 2 Sons both of low and higher men, The rich and poor as well. 3 I with my mouth variety Of wisdom will impart; Of understanding much shall be the musing of my heart. 4 Unto a speech proverbial I will encline mine ear; I will upon the harp withal My doctrine dark declare. 5 Why should I be at all afraid In days that evil be? When that my heels iniquity About shall compass me. [2] 6 Those men that make their great estates Their stay to trust unto; Who in the plenty of their wealth Themselves do boast also: 7 There's not a man of them that can By any means redeem His brother, nor to God can give A ransom meet for him. 8 (So dear their souls redemption is, And ever ceaseth it.) 9 That he should still for ever live, And never see the pit. 10 For he doth see that wise men die, The fool and brutish too Do perish; and their rich estate To others leave they do. 11 They think their houses are for aye, To generations all Their dwelling places; and their lands They by their names do call. 12 But man in honour being set Abideth not at night; But he becometh like unto The beast that perish quite. 13 This way of theirs their folly is; Yet their posterity Delighting in that which they say Approve it veh'mently. 14 Like sheep so are they laid in grave, Death shall them feed upon; And th' upright over them i' th' morn Shall have dominion. And from the place whereas they dwell, The beauty which they have Shall utterly consume away Within the rotting grave. 15 But surely God redemption Unto my soul will give, Ev'n from the grave's prevailing pow'r, For he will me receive. [3] 16 Be not afraid when as a man In wealth is made to grow; And when the glory of his house Abundantly doth flow. 17 For when as he doth come to die, Nought shall he take away: Nor shall there after him descend His glorious array. 18 Although in his life time his soul For blessed he did take, And men will praise thee when as thou Much of thy self dost make. 19 He shall go to his fathers face, They never shall see light. 20 In honour man that knows not, is Like beasts that perish quite. Scripture: Psalm 49

A Song and Psalm for the Sons of Korah

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: His ground works in the holy hills Lyrics: 1 His ground works in the holy hills, 2 Jehovah's love excels To Sion's gates, more than to all The tents where Jacob dwells. 3 God's city, things of glorious fame Are uttered of thee. 4 I'll Rahab name, and Babel to Them that acknowledge me; Behold Philistia and Tyre, With Ethiopia there 5 This man was born. This and that man Was also born in her. Of Sion thus it shall be said, And he that is most high, Ev'n he himself shall her prepare A place of constancy. 6 The Lord when he the people tells, Shall count there born was he. 7 There fingers and musicians are My springs are all in thee. Scripture: Psalm 87

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: How amiable, Lord of hosts Lyrics: 1 How amiable, Lord of hosts, Thy tabernacles be! 2 My soul longs for Jehovah's courts, Yea, it ev'n faints in me. Unto the strong and living God, My heart and flesh doth shout. 3 Yea, sparrow finds an house, her nest The swallow too finds out. 4 Wherein she may her young ones lay, thine altars near unto. O thou that art of armies Lord, My king, my God also. 4 O blest are they within thy house Who dwell, still they'll thee praise? 5 Blest is the man whose strength's in thee, In whose heart are the ways. 6 The passengers in Baca's vale, A fountain do it make; Also the pools that are therein, Their fill of rain do take. 7 From strength to strength they go to God, In Sion all appear. 8 Lord God of hosts, O hear my prayer, O Jacob's God give ear. [2] 9 Behold, O God our shield, the face Of thine anointed see: 10 For better's in thy courts a day, Than elsewhere thousands be: I'd rather a door keeper be In the house of my God, Than in the tents of wickedness To settle mine abode. 11 Because the Lord God is a sun, He is a shield also: Jehovah on his people grace And glory will bestow. No good thing will he hold from them That do walk uprightly. 12 O Lord of hosts the man is blest That puts his trust in thee. Scripture: Psalm 84

How beautiful thy feet with shoes

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How beautiful thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter stand! Thy thighs their joints like jewels are Works of a skilful hand. 2 Thy navel like a goblet cup Of liquor full and round: Thy belly like an heap of wheat About with lillies crown'd. 3 Thy two fair breasts are like two roes, That young and twinlins be. 4 Thy neck is also like unto A tow'r of ivory. Thine eyes like Heshbon's fish pools are, Beth-rahbim's entrance by: Thy nose as tow'r of Lebanon That doth Damascus eye. 5 Thine head on thee like Carmel is Hair of thy head likewise Like purple is; the king is held Within the galleries. 6 How fair and delicate art thou, love for pleasancy? 7 This stature thine is like the palm, Thy breasts as clusters be. 8 I said I'll to the palm ascend, Its boughs then seize I will. Like to vine-clusters are thy breasts, Thy nose as apples smell. 9 Like the best wine thy palate is, Which to my love runs sweet. Causing the lips to utter speech Ev'n theirs who are asleep. 10 I am my love's, and his desire Is placed me upon. 11 Come my beloved, let us forth Into the field be gone: Let's lodge within the villages. 12 Let us get up betime Unto the vineyards, let us see If flourish doth the vine: If that the tender grapes appear, The pomegranates also, If that they bud, and there my loves. 1 will on thee bestow. 13 The mandrakes give a smell and at Our gates all sweet fruits be: Both new and old, O my belov'd, Which I have stor'd for thee.

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: I am into my garden come Lyrics: 1 I Am into my garden come, My sister, spoufe likewise, And I my myrrh have gathered up, Together with my spice. My honey-comb with honey eat, My wine and milk drank I. Eat O ye friends, drink O belov'd, Yea drink abundantly. 2 I sieep, but yet my heart doth wake, The voice 'tis of my love; Who knocketh, open unto me, O sister mine, my dove. My love my undefiled one, Because my head is fill'd With dew, my locks fill'd. with the drops That have by night distill'd. 3 I have put off my coat how shall I put it on again? And I have washed clean my feet, How shall I them distain? 4 My well-beloved put his hand In by the hole o'th door; My bowels made a troubled noise In me for him therefore. 5 I rose to open to my love, And my hands myrrh did drop, My fingers sweetest myrrh upon The handles of the lock: 6 When I the door had opened To my beloved one, Then had my love withdrawn himself, And he away was gone. When as he spoke my soul did fail: Although I sought him have, I found him not; I call'd him, yet He me no answer gave. 7 The watchmen who the city round, Me found, smite, wound did they: The keepers of the walls from me Did take my veil away. 8 O daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you to him say, If my belov'd ye find, that I For love do faint away. 9 What's thy love more than other's love Fairest of women kind What's thy love more than other's love, That us thou dost so bind? 10 My love is white and ruddy, chief Among ten thousands he. 11 His head is gold most fine, his locks Curl'd black as ravens be. 12 His eyes as doves by water's streams, With milk wash'd, fitly set. 13 His cheeks are as a bed of spice, As flow'rs of odours sweet. His lilly lips drop flowing myrrh. 14 His hands gold rings bedight, With beryl laid with saphires is, His belly iv'ry bright. 15 His legs as marble pillars set On sockets of fine gold : His look as Lebanon, as choice As cedars to behold. 16 Most sweet his palate, lovely he Ev'n altogether is: O daughters of Jerusalem, My love and friend is this. Scripture: Song of Solomon 5
