Defend Me, Lord, From Shame

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14732 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Defend me, Lord, from shame, For still I trust in Thee: As just and righteous is Thy name, From danger set me free. 2 Bow down Thy gracious ear, And speedy succor send: Do Thou my steadfast rock appear, To shelter and defend. 3 Since Thou, when foes oppress, My rock and fortress art, To guide me forth from this distress, Thy wonted help impart. 4 Release me from the snare Which they have closely laid; Since I, O God my strength repair To Thee alone for aid. 5 To Thee, the God of truth, My life, and all that’s mine (For Thou preserv’dst me from my youth,) I willingly resign. 6 All vain designs I hate, Of those that trust in lies: And still my soul, in every state, To God for succor flies. 7 Those mercies Thou hast shown, I’ll cheerfully express; For Thou hast seen my straits, and know My soul in deep distress. 8 When Keilah’s treacherous race Did all my strength enclose, Thou gav’st my feet a larger space, To shun my watchful foes. 9 Thy mercy, Lord, display, And hear my just complaint; For both my soul and flesh decay, With grief and hunger faint. 10 Sad thoughts my life oppress; My years are spent in groans; My sins have made my strength decrease, And e’en consumed my bones. 11 My foes my sufferings mocked, My neighbors did upbraid; My friends, at sight of me, were shocked, And fled, as men dismayed. 12 Forsook by all am I, As dead, and out of mind; And like a shattered vessel lie, Whose parts can ne’er be joined. 13 Yet slanderous words they speak, And seem my power to dread; Whilst they together counsel take My guiltless blood to shed. 14 But still my steadfast trust, I on Thy help repose: That Thou, my God, art good and just, My soul with comfort knows. 15 Whate’er events betide, Thy wisdom times them all: Then, Lord, Thy servant safely hide From those that seek his fall. 16 The brightness of Thy face, To me, O Lord, disclose; And, as Thy mercies still increase, Preserve me from my foes. 17 Me from dishonor save, Who still have called on Thee; Let that, and silence in the grave, The sinner’s portion be. 18 Do Thou their tongues restrain; Whose breath in lies is spent; Who false reports, with proud disdain, Against the righteous vent. 19 How great Thy mercies are To such as fear Thy name; Which Thou, for those that trust Thy care, Dost to the world proclaim! 20 Thou keep’st them in Thy sight, From proud oppressors free: From tongues that do in strife delight, They are preserved by Thee. 21 With glory and renown God’s name be ever blessed; Whose love as Keilah’s well-fenced town Was wondrously expressed! 22 I said, in hasty flight, I’m banished from Thine eyes; Yet still Thou keptst me in Thy sight, And heardst my earnest cries. 23 O! all ye saints, the Lord With eager love pursue; Who to the just will help afford, And give the proud their due. 24 Ye that on God rely, Courageously proceed; For He will still your hearts supply With strength, in time of need.

Defend me, Lord, from Shame

Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #XXXI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Defend me, Lord, from Shame, for still I trust in Thee: As Just and Righteous is thy Name, from Danger set me free. 2 Bow down thy gracious Ear, and speedy Succour send: Do Thou my stedfast Rock appear, to shelter and defend. 3 Since Thou, when Foes oppress, my Rock and Fortress art, To guide me forth from this Distress, thy wonted Help impart. 4 Release me from the Snare which they have closely laid; Since I, O God my Strength repair to Thee alone for Aid. 5 To Thee, the God of Truth, my Life, and all that's mine, (For Thou preserv'st me from my Youth,) I willingly resign. 6 All vain Designs I hate, of those that trust in Lies: And still my Soul, in ev'ry State, to God for Succour flies. Part II 7 Those Mercies Thou hast shown, I'll chearfully express; For Thou hast seen my Streights, and known my Soul in deep Distress. 8 When Keilah's treach'rous Race did all my Strength inclose, Thou gav'st my Feet a larger Space, to shun my watchful Foes. 9 Thy Mercy, Lord, display, and hear my just Complaint; For both my Soul and flesh decay, with Grief and Hunger faint. 10 Sad Thoughts my Life oppress; my Years are spent in Groans; My Sins have made my Strength decrease, and ev'n consum'd my Bones. 11 My Foes my Suff'rings mock'd; my Neighbours did upbraid; My Friends, at Sight of me, were shock'd, and fled, as Men dismay'd. 12 Forsook by all am I, as dead, and out of Mind; And like a shatter'd Vessel lie, whose Parts can ne'er be join'd. 13 Yet sland'rous Words they speak, and seem my Pow'r to dread; Whilst they together Counsel take, my guiltless Blood to shed. 14 But still my stedfast Trust, I on thy Help repose: That Thou, my God, art good and just, my Soul with Comfort knows. Part III 15 Whate'er Events betide, thy Wisdom times them all: Then, Lord, thy Servant safely hide from those that seek his Fall. 16 The Brightness of thy Face, to me, O Lord, disclose; And, as thy Mercies still increase, preserve me from my Foes. 17 Me from Dishonour save, who still have call'd on Thee; Let That, and Silence in the Grave, the Sinner's Portion be. 18 Do Thou their Tongues restrain; whose Breath in Lies is spent; Who false Reports, with proud Disdain, against the Righteous vent. 19 How great thy Mercies are to such as fear thy Name; Which Thou, for those that trust thy Care, dost to the World proclaim! 29 Thou keep'st them in thy Sight, from proud Oppressors free: From Tongues that do in Strife delight, they are preserv'd by Thee. 21 With Glory and Renown God's Name be ever bless'd; Whose Love is Keilab's well-fenc'd Town was wond'rously express'd! 22 I said, in hasty Flight, "I'm banish'd from thine Eyes:" Yet still Thou keptst me in thy Sight, and heardst my earnest Cries. 23 O! all ye Saints, the Lord with eager Love pursue; Who to the Just will Help afford, and give the Proud their Due. 24 Ye that on God rely, couragiously proceed; For He will yet your Hearts supply with Strength, in Time of Need.

Nahum Tate

1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Author of "Defend me, Lord, from shame" in Melodies of the Church Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715. --The Hymnal 1940 Companion See also in: Hymn Writers of the Church
