The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's: Chap. IV

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lo fair thou art my love Lyrics: 1 Lo fair thou art, my love, lo fair, Dove's eyes in thy locks are: Thy hair as flocks of goats that from Mount Gilead do appear. 2 Thy teeth are as a smooth shorn flock, Which from the washing come, Where ev'ry one of them bears twins, Of them there's barren none, 3 Thy lips are as a scarlet twine, Thy speech doth comely pour; Within thy locks thy temples like A pomgranate in flower. 4 Thy neck is like to David's tow'r, Built for an armoury. Where hang a thousand shields, all shields Of men of potency. 5 Thy breasts they twain compared are To roes a double young: The which are twins, and have their feed The lilly flow'rs among, 6 Until the time the day shall break, And till the shades fly hence. I'll get me to the mount of myrrh, And hill of frankincense. 7 All fair thou art, my lovely one, There is no spot in thee. 8 My spouse with me from Leb'non come From Lebanon with me: Look from the top of Amana; From Shenir's top also, From Hermon's, from the lions dens. The leopard's mountains fro. 9 My sister spouse thou ravishest My heart; thou dost affect My heart with that one eye of thine, With one chain of thy neck. 10 How fair thy love my sister spouse? How better far thy love Than wine! and thine anointment's smell All spices far above. 11 My spouse thy lips drop honey-comb, Honey under thy tongue And milk, and thy cloaths smell is like The smell of Lebanon. 12 My sister my espoused one A garden closely shut: A well spring closed up is she A fountain sealed up. 13 Thy cyons of pomegranates are Like to a paradise, With pleasant fruits replenished, Camphire, spikenard likewise. 14 Where spikenard, saffron, calamus, With cinnamon also, All incense trees, myrrh, aloes, With all chief spices grow. 15 The garden's fount, live water spring And streams from Lebanon. 16 Wake, O north wind, and come thou south, My garden blow upon. Its spices that they may flow out: His garden come into Let my beloved one, and eat His pleasant fruit also. Scripture: Song of Solomon 4

To the chief Musician. A Psalmof David

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lord free me from the evil man Lyrics: 1 Lord free me from the evil man, From vi'lent men save me. 2 Whose heart thinks mischief ev'ry day, For war they gathered be. 3 They in such wise make sharp their tongue Like as the serpents do: And underneath their lips do lie The adder's poison too. Selah. 4 Keep me, Lord, from the wickeds hands, From vi'lent men me save. My goings who to overthrow In thought projected have. 5 The proud have hid a snare for me, With cords; also a net They spread abroad beside the way, For me they gins have set. 6 Unto Jehovah I did say, Thou art a God to me: Lord, hear the voice of my requests, Which are for grace to thee, 7 O God the Lord who art the strength Of my salvation. My head by thee hath cover'd been The day of battle on. 8 That man's desire who wicked is, Jehovah do not grant. His wicked purpose further not, Left they themselves do vaunt, 9 But as for them on ev'ry sid Who round encompass me, Ev'n with the mischief cf their lips Their head shall cov'red be. 10 On them shall burning coals be cast, Them he shall make to fall Into the fire, into deep pits, To rise no more at all. 11 Let not in earth establish'd be A man of evil tongue: Evil shall hunt to overthrow The man of vi'lent wrong. 12 The afflicted's cause, the poor man's right, I know God will maintain: 13 The just shall praise thy name, th' upright Before thy face remain. Scripture: Psalm 140

A Psalm or Song for the Sons of Korah, to the chief musician upon Mahalath, Leanoth, Maschil, of Heman the Ezrahite

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lord God of my salvation Lyrics: 1 Lord God of my salvation, Before thee day and night cry'd I; 2 O let my prayer before thee come, Incline thine ear unto my cry. 3 Because my soul is troubled so, And to the grave my life draws nigh. 4 Counted with them to th' pit that go, As one that hath no strength am I. 5 As free among those that be dead, Like to the slain in grave up shut; By thee no more remembered, And by thy hand that off are cut. 6 Thou hast me laid i'th' pit most low, In darknesses within deep caves 7 Hard on me lies thy wrath, also Thou me afflict'st with all my waves. 8 Men that of mine acquaintance be Away from me thou far hast put; To them thou louthsome makest me, From coming forth I am up shut. 9 Because of mine affliction, Mine eye with mourning pines away Jehovah I thee call upon; And to thee stretch my hands all day. [2] 10 Shew wonders to the dead wilt thou? Shall dead men rise and thee confess? Selah. 11 I'th' grave wilt thou thy kindness show, In lost estate thy faithfulness? 12 Thy works that wonderful have been What shall in darkness they be known? And shall thy righteousness be seen In that land of oblivion. 13 But unto thee, Lord, have I cry'd, At morn my prayer preventeth thee. 14 Why casts thou Lord my soul aside Why dost thou hide thy face from me? 15 I'm poor afflicted, and to die Am ready from my youthful years: Distraught with troubles sore am I, While I do bear thy horrid fears. 16 Thy fierce wrath over me doth go, Thy terrors they do me dismay 17 As waters compass me they do, Together they surround all day. 18 Friend and companion thou hast far Removed off away from me; To those that mine acquaintance are I am in dark obscurity. Scripture: Psalm 88

Lord God to whom doth appertain

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God to whom doth appertain The recompence of wrongs: O mighty God, shine clearly forth, To whom revenge belongs. 2 Thou judge of th' earth, lift up thy self, The proud their wages pay. 3 How long, O Lord, shall wicked men, How long triumph shall they? 4 O how long shall they utter forth, And grievous things express? How long shall all such boast themselves As do work wickedness? 5 Lord they thy folk in pieces break, And heritage oppress. 6 The widow and the stranger slay, And kill the fatherless. 7 The Lord, they say, yet shall not see, Nor Jacob's God it mind 8 Learn brutish people, and ye fools, When will you wisdom find? 9 Who plants the ear, shall he not hear? Who forms the eye not see? 10 Who heathen smites shall be not check? Man's teacher, knows not he? [2] 11 Jehovah knows the thoughts of men, That they are very vain: 12 Lord blest is he whom thou correct'st, And in thy law dost train. 13 That thou may'st give him quietness From days of misery Until the pit be digged for Such as do wickedly. 14 Because Jehovah never will His people cast away: Nor yet will he forsake his own Inheritance for aye. 15 But judgment unto righteousness Shall sure return and reign, And then all upright ones in heart, Shall follow it again. 16 Against the evil doers who Will up for me arise? Who stand up for me against them That work iniquities? 17 Had not the Lord me help'd, my soul Had near in silence dwell'd. 18 When as I said my foot slips, Lord, Thy mercy me upheld. [3] 19 Amidst the multitude of thoughts That are within my mind, Still from thy consolations My soul delight doth find. 20 What, shall the throne of wickedness Have fellowship with thee? Which mischief frames and executes By law and vile decree. 21 They jointly gathered themselves Together they withstood The soul of him that righteous is, And damn'd the guiltless blood. 22 Nevertheless Jehovah is To me a refuge high: My God he also is the rock, Where I for safety fly. 23 Their mischief he on them shall bring, And in the wickedness Shall cut them off, yea, ev'n the Lord Our God shall them suppress. Scripture: Psalm 94

A Psalm of David

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lord, hear my prayer, give ear Lyrics: 1 Lord hear my pray'r, give ear when I Do humbly call on thee; Both in thy truth and righteousness Make answer unto me. 2 And into judgment enter not With him who serveth thee: For in thy sight no man that lives Shall justified be. 3 For th' enemy pursu'd my soul, My life to ground hath thrown; And made me dwell i'th' dark like them Who dead are long agone. 4 Therefore my soul is overwhelm'd With great perplexity. My heart also within me is Made desolate to be. 5 I call'd to mind the days of old, I meditation use: On all thy works, thy handy work, I seriously do muse. 6 Moreover I do unto thee Reach mine out-stretched hands: So after thee my soul doth thirst, As to the thirsty lands. [2] 7 Haste Lord, hear me, my soul doth fail Hide not thy face me fro; Lest I become like unto them Who down to pit do go. 8 Let me thy mercy early hear, For I upon thee stay : Wherein that I should walk, cause me To understand the way. For I to thee lift up my soul. 9 O Lord, deliver me, From them who be my foes; I fly To hide my self with thee. 10 Thou art my God, thy spirit good. Teach me thy will to do: Into the land of uprightness Conduct thou me alfso: 11 Jehovah me O quicken thou, Ev'n for thine own names sake; And for thy righteousness my soul From out of trouble take. 12 Thou shalt cut off mine enemies In thy benignity. And those destroy that vex my soul For servant thine am I. Scripture: Psalm 143

A Psalm and song at the Dedication of the House of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lord, I will thee extol on high Lyrics: 1 Lord, I will thee extol on high, For thou hast made me rise; And joyful hast not made to be O'er me mine enemies. 2 I Lord my God to thee cry'd have, And thou hast made me whole, 3 Jehovah thou out of the grave Hast raised up my soul. From pit's descent thou quicknedst me, 4 O sing unto the Lord, And ye his saints give thanks when ye His holiness record. 5 For's wrath doth but a while abide, Life in his love doth stay: If weeping lodge at ev'ning tide, Yet joy at break of day. 6 For in my prosp'rous state I said, Now shall I never slide, 7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made My mountain fast abide 8 Thou hid'st thy face, I troubled was, Lord I to thee did cry; Also my humble suit for grace Unto the Lord made I. 9 What profit in my blood can be, When I to pit go down? Shall dust give glory unto thee? Shall it thy truth make known? 10 Do thou me, O Jehovah, hear, And on me mercy have: To me, Jehovah, be thou near, And helper me to save. 11 My mourning then a dance into For me thou turned hast: With joy thou didst me gird also, And off my sackcloth cast. 12 So shall my glory sing thy praise, And never silent be; Jehovah, O my God always I will give thanks to thee. Scripture: Psalm 30

[2] 11 O sing ye praises to the Lord, That doth in Sion dwell: The deeds also that he hath done Among the people tell. He to remembrance doth them call, When he for blood doth seek; He also never doth forget The crying of the meek. 13 Jehovah mercy on me have From them tat do me hate; Mark mine afflictions that arise, Thou lift'st me from death's gate. 14 That I on Sion's daughters gates Thy praises all my show: And that in thy salvation I may rejoyce also. 15 The heathen are sung down into The pit that they had made: Their foot is taken in the net Which privily they laid. 16 By judgment which he executes, Jehovah is made known: The wicked's snar'd in's handy work, Deep meditation. 17 The wicked shall be turned down Into the burning pit; All nations that the mighty God Continue to forget. 18 Because the needy ones shall not Forgotten be alway? The expectation of the poor For aye shall not decay: 19 O let not wretched man prevail, But O Jehovah rise; The heathen people in thy sight Let judged be likewise. 20 Jehovah do thou put in fear Ev'n ev'ry one of them: That so the nations they may know That they be sorry men. Selah. Scripture: Psalm 9
