The Prayer of Jonah to the Lord his God out of the Fish's Belly

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I to the Lord from my distress Lyrics: 1 I t0 the Lord from my distress Did cry and he gave ear, Out of hell's belly did I cry, And he my voice did hear. 3 Into the deep and midfs of seas, Because thou did'st me cast; The floods me compass'd, all thy waves And billows o'er me past. 4 Then did I say, I utterly Cast from thy sight remain. Thy holy temple yet will I Towards it look again. 5 The waters even to the soul Did me encompass round: The depths me round enclos'd; the weeds About my head were bound. 6 To mountains bottoms I went down, Earth's bars me eye beset: Yet Lord my God, thou brought'st my life Up from corruption's pit 7 When as my soul did faint in me, The Lord remembred I: And then my prayer came to thee, Into thy sanct'ary. 8 They their own mercies leave who look To lying vanities. 9 But with the voice of giving thanks, To thee I'll sacrifice: The thing 1 vow'd and promis'd have To pay I will accord: for all salvation wholly comes From the almighty Lord. Scripture: Jonah 2

His chosen captains drowned were As the red fen they pass'd, 5 The depths them hid, to th' bottom they Like as a stone sunk down. 6 Jehovah, thy right hand in pow'r Most glorious is renown'd. Lord, thy right hand in pieces dash'd Those that against thee rose. 7 And in thy excellency great, Thou haft o'erthrown thy foes. Thou did'st send forth thy wrath, which as The stubble did them waste. 8 Together gather'd were the waves Ev'n with thy nostrils blast: The floods stood upright as an heap, The depths in mid-sea froze. 9 The foe said, I'll pursue, I'll take, I will the spoil dispose. My lust on them shall filled be, My sword draw out will I: My hand shall them again possess, Or wholly them destroy. 10 Thou with thy wind didst on them blow, The sea them covered soon: They in the mighty waters sunk, Like lead sunk quickly down. [2] 11 Lord, who's like thee among the gods, Who like thee, glorious In holiness, fearful in praise, In doings marvellous! 12 When thou didst forth thy right hand stretch The earth them swallowed. 13 The people whom thou hast redeemed, Thou hast in mercy led. Thou by thy strength shalt guide them to That holy seat of thine. 14 The folk shall hear and fear, and grieve Shall they of Palestine. 15 Then Edom's dukes shall be amaz'd, And Moab's mighty men Trembling shall seize, away shall melt All Canaan's dwellers then. 16 Fear upon them and dread shall fall By thine arm's mightiness. They like a stone shall quiet lie, Until thy people pass: Until thy people Lord shall pass Which thou hast purchased: 17 Till thou hast brought them in, and in Thy mount established. The mount of thine inheritance, O Lord, the place wherein Thou hast prepar'd thy sanctuary For thee to dwell therein: Which thy hands, Lord, establish'd have. 18 Jehovah he shall reign; For evermore, through ages all, For ever sovereign. 19 For Pharaoh's horse and chariots his And horsemen down they went Into the sea, Jehovah then The sea upon them sent. 20 The waters of the sea on them He turned back in haste, But on dry land thro' midst of sea The sons of Isra'l pass'd.

Because that such as do him fear No want at all shall see. 10 Young lions they are brought to want And suffer lack of food: But they that fear the Lord, no want Shall have of any good. [2] 11 O come ye children unto me, Give you attentive ear; And I will you instruct how ye The Lord aright shall fear. 12 Who is the man whose heart is bent That long his life may be, Who loveth days, and hath intent Prosperity to see? 13 Thy tongue from ill, thy lips also From speaking guile keep thou. 14 Depart from evil, and do good, Seek peace and it pursue. 15 Upon the men that righteous are The Lord doth set his eye; And likewise he doth bow his ear, When unto him they cry. 16 Jehovah's face is set against Them that do wickedly. That he of them from off the land May cut the memory. 17 When as the righteous men do cry, The Lord doth hear their call; And gives to them delivery Out of their troubles all. 18 Jehovah near is such unto As broken-hearted be; Whose spirit contrite is also Ev'n such ones save will he 19 The just man's griefs are many a one, From all God sets him free; 20 He keepeth all his bones that none Of them shall broken be. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked man, And whosoever hate The righteous man, ev'n all of them Shall sure be desolate. 22 Their souls that do Jehovah serve He freely doth redeem: Nor utterly shall any swerve, That put their trust in him.

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I'll dearly love thee, Lord, my strength Lyrics: 1 I'll dearly love thee, Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord's my rock, my fort likewise And Saviour mine, my God, my strength, My shield on whom my trust relies, My safety's horn, my tow'r likewise. 3 Upon Jehovah I will call Who to be praised worthy is; So from my foes be sav'd I shall. 4 Death's sorrows me encompassed, And floods of Belial frighted me. 5 Hell's pangs me round environed; The snares of death prevented me. 6 In my straits on the Lord call'd I, And to my God cry'd; he did hear My voice from's temple, and my cry Before him came into his ear. 7 Then th'earth did shake and quake, likewise, Mov'd hills foundations shook at's ire. 8 Smoak from his nostrils did arise And from his mouth devouring fire, By it the coals enkindled were. 9 Likewise the heavens he down bow'd And he descended; also there Was at his feet a gloomy cloud. 10 And he on cherubs rode apace, Yea on the wings of wind he flew. 11 He darkness made his secret place His covert round about him drew, Dark waters, and thick clouds of skies. 12 From brightness that before him was His thickned clouds did pass likewise Hail-stones and coals of fire did pass. [2] 13 Jehovah thundered forth also, Within the heavens in his ire, The highest caus'd his voice to go Hail-stones and burning coals of fire, 14 Yea he his arrows did send out, And bruising he them scattered: And lightnings he did hurl about, And them with dread discomfited. 14 The channels where the waters past Were seen, the ground-works of the world Appear'd at thy rebuke, at blast Of thy displeasure's breath, O Lord. 16 He from above sent, he me set The waters great he drew me for; 17 From my strong foes, me free he set From them that hated me also. For they were mightier than I. 18 They me prevented in the day Of that my dark calamity. Yet was the Lord for me a stay. 19 And he led me a large place to, He sav'd me, for he did delight 10 In me. The Lord repay'd me so, According as I did aright. After the pureness of my hands He gave a recompence to me. 21 Because I kept the Lord's commands, Nor I from God went wickedly. 22 Fro judgements all were in my sight: Nor from me his decrees put I: 23 And I before him was upright, Me kept from mine iniquity. [3] 24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me According as I did aright; After mine hands integrity, That did appear before his sight. 24 With persons merciful that are Thou merciful thy self wilt show; Thou upright wilt thy self declare With such as upright are also. 26 With such as hollow purity, That thou art pure thou wilt declare; For thou wilt turn thy self away Against them all that froward are. 27 Because thou safety wilt afford To poor folk; but high looks suppress. 28 But thou wilt light my lamp, the Lord My God will lighten my darkness, 29 For through a troop by thee i ride; And by my God leap'd o'er a wall. 30 God's way intire, the Lord's word try'd; That trust in him he's shield to all. 31 For who is God the Lord but he? Or who a rock our God besides? 32 It's God with strength that girdeth me And me in perfect way doth guide. 33 He makes my feet like as a roe, And on my high place makes me stand! 34 Mine arms do break the brazen bow; So well to war he learns my hand. 35 And of thy saving health the shield thou hast bestowed upon me; And thy right hand hath me upheld, Thy meekness made me great to be. [4] 36 Thou under me my steps mad'st large So that my ankles did not slide. 37 My foes pursued, and o'er charge I turn'd not till they were destroy'd. 38 I pierc'd them that they could not rise, They at my feet did fall subdu'd. 39 Fro thou hast girded me likewise Unto the war with fortitude. Thou hast subdued under me Those that did up against me rise, 40 My foes their necks thou gavest me That I might waste mine enemies. 41 They cry'd; but none to save thy find: To God, but with no answer meet. 42 I beat them then as dust i'th' wind, And cast them out as dust i'th' street. 43 And thou hast me delivered From people that contentious be: Thou of the heathen mad'st me head, The folk I knew not, shall serve me. 44 They'll at first hearing me obey; Themselves shall strangers yield to me. 45 The strangers sons shall fade away, And from their closets frighted be. [5] 46 Give Lord, and let my rock be blest: God of my health exalted be. 47 God that for me revenge express'd, And brings down people under me. 48 He sav'd me from mine enemies; And thou didst lift me higher than Those that did up against me rise; And freed me from the violent man. 49 I will therefore to thee confess With thanks the heathen folk among, Jehovah to thy name express My praises will in a song. 50 He giveth great salvation Unto his king; and doth display His mercy to's anointed one, To David and his seed for aye.

Selah. More bright and wondrous excellent Than mounts of prey art thou. 5 They that are stout of heart are spoil'd, They slept their sleep out-right: And none of them have found their hands That were the men of might. 6 O thou that art of Jacob God, At thy rebuke out-past, The chariot and the horse also To sleep of death are cast. 7 Thou, even thou, art to be fear'd, O who is he therefore, When once thou angry art, that can Thy presence stand before? 8 Thou didst out from the heav'ns above Cause judgment to be heard; The earth in awful silence stood Exceedingly it fear'd. 9 When the great God himself arose His judgment to dispence, Of all the meek once of the earth To be the safe defence. Selah. 10 Assuredly the wrath of man Shall praises to thee gain: And the remainder of their wrath Thou surely shalt restrain. 11 Vow to the Lord your God, and pay All that about him are; And bring ye an oblation To him that is our fear. 12 The spirit that in princes is Asunder cut shall he: Unto the kings on earth that are He shall most dreadful be.

His righteous acts to them who dwell In Israel's towns relate, Then shall the people of the Lord Go down unto the gate. [2] 12 Wake, wake, O Deborah, wake, awake, A song sing; Barak rise; Abinoam's son, and captive lead, Thou thy captivities. 13 Unto the remnant he gave rule Above the nobles then Among the folk: the Lord gave me Rule over mighty men. 14 From Ephraim a root against Proud Amalek there was. Thy followers, O Benjamin, Among thy folk did pass, From out of Machir governours Deseended also then, And out of Zebulun came they That handle writer's pen. 15 Then Issachar, ev'n Issachar, His peers with Deborah went, And also Barak was on foot, Into the valley sent. Because of those divisions that In Ruben did appear, Great fears and anxious thoughts of heart Among us then there were. 16 Why didst, thou with the sheep-folds stay The bleating flocks to hear? For Ruben his divisions sad Heart-searchings great there were. 17 Gilead by Jordan stay'd; and why Did Dan in ships reside? On sea-shore Amur why remain, And in his creeks abide? 18 But Zebulun and Napthali Were people who did yield Their lives in danger unto death In the high open field. [3] 19 The kings came and they fought, then fought The kings of Canaan, In Tanach by Megiddo's streams; No money prize they wan. 20 From heav'n they fought, the stars by course Fought against Sisera: 21 Then Kishon's brook, old Kishon's brook, That brook them swept away. O thou my soul hast trod down strength. 22 Then broke their horse-hoofs were; By pransing, trampling, pransings of Their mighty horses there. 23 Curse Meroz, curse her dwellers, curse, Jehovah's angel said: For they came not to aid the Lord, Against the strong to aid. 24 Jael the Kenite, Heber's wife, 'Bove women bless shall be: Above the women in the tent, A blesed one is she. 25 He water ask'd; she gave him milk, Him butter forth she fetch'd 26 In lordly dish: then to the nail, She forth her left hand stretch'd; Her right the workman's hammer held, And Sisera struck dead: She pierc'd and struck his temples through, And then smote off his head. 27 He at her feet bow'd, fell, lay down, He at her feet bow'd, where He fell: ev'n where he bowed down, He fell destroyed there. [4] 28 Out of a window Sisera His mother look'd, and said, The lattess through, in coming why So long his chariot staid ? His chariot-wheels why tarry they? 29 Her ladies wise reply'd, Yea to herself the answer made, 30 Have they not sped? she cry'd The prey to each, a maid or twain, Divided have not they? To Sifera have they not shar'd A divers-colour'd prey? Of divers colour'd needle-work, Wrought curious on each side, Of various colours, meet for necks Of those who spoils divide? 31 So perish let thine enemies all, O Lord; but let all those Who do him love, be like the sun That in his strength forth goes.

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, I for safety do Betake my self to thee, Confusion to be put unto O never suffer me. 2 me rescue in thy righteousness, Let me deliv'rance have: O bow thou down thine ear to me, Also do thou me save. 3 Be thou my habitations fast, Where I may still resort: Thou me to save commanded hast, For thou'rt my rock and fort. 4 My God, from wicked's hand me free, From fierce hand and unjust. 5 Because thou Lord God art my hope, And from my youth my trust. 6 Up from the womb thou did'st me stay: Thou did'st deliver me Out of my mother's bowels: aye My praise shall be of thee. [2] To many I a wonder am, But thou my refuge strong. 8 Let with thy praise my mouth be fill'd, And honour all day long. 9 Unto the time of elder age, O cast me not away: And do thou not abandon me When my strength doth decay. 10 For they that be mine enemies, Those men against me speak. Who for my soul lay wait likewise, Together counsel take. 11 They say God hath forsaken him, Now persecute him ye: And apprehend ye him, for none there is to set him free. 12 O God from me depart not far, My God to help me haste. 13 Who my soul's adversaries are, O let them be abash'd. Yea, let them quite consumed be, And covered with shame, With soul disgrace and infamy, That for my hurt do aim. [3] 14 Howbeit I with patience still On thee will waiting be; And more and more yet add I will To all the praise of thee. 15 My mouth shall forth thy righteousness, And thy salvation show From day to day; for of the same No numbers do I know. 16 I in the strength of God the Lord, Will still along go on; Will thy righteousness record, Yea even thine alone. 17 From my youth up, O mighty God, Thou hast instructed me. I hitherto have shew'd abroad The wonders wrought by thee. 18 And now also when i am old, And hoary hair'd, O God, Forsake me not, till I have told Thy mighty pow'r abroad, Unto this genration. And unto ev'ry one That shall hereafter be to come, Thy strong dominion. 19 Also thy righteousness, O God, Is high exceedingly; Great are the things that thou hast wrought; O God, who's like to thee? [4] 20 Thou who hast caused me to see Afflictions; great and sore, Shall turn and quicken me; and me From depth of th' earth restore. 21 Thou shalt my greatness multiply And comfort me always. 22 Also with tuned psaltery I will shew forth thy praise. O thou my God, sing forth will I To thee my harp upon: Thy faithfulness and verity, O Israel's holy one 23 My lips rejoyce with shouting shall, When I to thee shall sing: My soul which free ye shall from thrall to liberty didst bring. 24 Likewise my tongue shall forth declare Thy justice all day long: Because that they confounded are, And sham'd that seek my wrong.
